4 Operation
This section describes how to operate terminal devices, usually telephones, on
the TELES.iPBX 8TR Box. In order to handle your telephone effectively, you’ll
need your telephone’s user manual as well.
4.1 Introduction
Undoubtedly, you are already familiar with telephone systems (PBXs) and know
that you can conduct conversations within the PBX and call into the public net
via the outside line access. You probably also know that you can transfer calls
within a PBX and can switch back and forth between different parties (hold and
alternate).
However, the TELES.iPBX 8TR Box also offers a series of further useful func-
tions that will enhance your daily handling of the telephone:
•
From your own phone you can pick up calls to other extensions – no need to
run to the appropriate telephone anymore.
•
During a conversation, you can hear if a further party is trying to reach you
(call waiting). You can accept the new connection and then hold and alternate
between both calls.
•
You can forward calls directed to your extension to another telephone when
you’re away from your desk.
•
You can switch off your telephone when you do not want to be disturbed
(block against incoming calls).
•
... and much more.
