Individual Buttons (phones and side cars):
From the drop-down list, choose a function, as described below.
TIP:
The image of the phone or side car is interactive. If you position your mouse
pointer over a field that you are configuring, such as Personal Extension Right 1 or
SC1 Left 1, a green arrow points to the corresponding button on the image of the
phone or side car.
NOTE
For Auto-Dial, Intercom, and can create buttons After you configure Call Paging
groups and Hunt Groups, you can return to this page to add phone buttons for those
destinations.
•
Unused
: This button is not configured. You may wish to leave a button
unconfigured so the user can add a personal speed dial from the phone
menu.
Additional Extension (phones only):
Creates another personal extension
for this user. This type of button can be added to a phone only, not to a side
car. This feature may be useful for an executive who wants an additional
personal extension number that is not in the Corporate Directory. This type
of extension does not have voice mail or call forwarding features. (If a user
needs an extra extension with these features, consider creating a Shared
Extension that includes only this user as a member.) If you choose this
option, also enter an extension number in the box. Extension numbers must
be unique and must comply with the rules entered on the
Dialing > Dial Plan
page. For more information, see
Configuring Internal Dialing, page 5
. An
error message appears if you enter an invalid or duplicate extension
number.
•
Auto-Dial (speed dial):
Dials a specified number. After you choose this
option, choose
Internal
or
External
. For internal numbers, choose from the
drop-down list. For an external number, specify the digit that is required to
get an outside line, and then enter the telephone number. Digits for outside
lines are specified on the
System Features > Internal Dialing
page. For
more information, see
Configuring Internal Dialing, page 5
•
BLF
: Monitors the status (ringing, on a call, or on hold) of another user’s
extension. (Not available for shared lines, groups, system extensions, or FXS
phones.) This feature may be useful to administrative assistants who
monitor their bosses’ phones, or co-workers who back up one another
during breaks. You can use this button to pick up a call that is ringing on the
monitored extension. Also, if the monitored extension is idle, you can press
this button to speed-dial the number. After you choose this option, choose
the
Target User
. If a user has more than one extension (including additional
extensions and shared extensions), also choose the
Target Extension
.
