and keep a log of all outgoing calls.

Idle Line Preference
Your MLX telephone should have Idle Line Preference activated. With
Idle Line Preference activated, the system automatically selects a line for
outgoing calls when you go off hook.
The system manager should set Automatic Line Selection on your
telephone so that your Idle Line Preference is on an ICOM button (in Key
or Behind Switch mode) or an SA button (in Hybrid/PBX mode). Ensuring
that Automatic Line Selection is set to an ICOM or an SA button means
you can make both inside and outside calls via Lucent Technologies Call.
(You make outside calls on an ICOM or SA button by dialing
