Basic functions
Team direct call key
A team direct call key is used to program the internal call number of another team member. Selec-
ting this key allows you to answer a call on behalf of the other team member or to make a call to the
other team member.
For more information please refer to page 87.
A team direct call key is usually set up in a team configuration. Your system administrator can also
set up a team direct call key for you without it being assigned to a team.
Partner direct call key
A partner direct call key allows two subscribers to be connected with each other by a private line, i.e.
the line is used exclusively for connections between the two partners. Both partners then have a cor-
responding partner direct call key on their respective phones. Any partner can use the key to call the
other partner directly, even if the called partner is in a call (busy) set up using a different call key on
his phone.
For more information please refer to the section on team functions on page 87ff.
