How the programmable feature keys can be set
•
Line keys
— Programming a line number into a programmable feature key makes it a line key, which
provides the appropriate lamp information and manual outside-line access.
•
Station keys
— If you program a programmable feature key with any of the following, it becomes a
station key, providing the appropriate lamp information and easy access or transfer:
— User extensions
— Group mailboxes
— Department pilot numbers
— Cascade paging mailboxes
— Guest/info mailboxes
— System speed dial numbers
— Q & A mailboxes
•
Speed-dial keys
— In addition to programming a programmable feature key with a
system
speed-dial
number, you can create
personal
speed-dial keys for automatic dialing of frequently called outside
numbers. The speed-dial number can be up to 24
characters
long. If you program
9
(or
8
or
71–76
)
plus a phone number, the programmable feature key becomes a speed-dial key. When you program a
speed-dial key, there's no need to insert a pause after the
9
(or
8
or
71–76
). Use the
scroll key to
enter special characters for dialing:
–
P
= Three-second pause
–
F
= Hook-flash
–
#
=
#
(pound) key
–
=
(star) key
Notes:
You can also program
Location Keys
for use with Esi-Link. See page H.1 for more information.
Speed-dial
keys
cannot
be programmed for emergency services, such as
9 1 1
.
•
Other feature keys
— If you enter a feature code, the programmable feature key will serve as an
enable/disable key for that feature. The Installer may have programmed certain stations for accessing
additional features (see “Optional features,” page F.14); consult your System Administrator to
determine your access.
