Programming Telephone Buttons
Telephone buttons without lines or pools assigned to them can be programmed for system features such as Exclusive Hold or Conference Drop or for telephone numbers, so you can use the feature or dial the phone number with one touch.
Once programmed, these buttons are called Auto Dial buttons, because simply pressing the button automatically dials the feature code or telephone number.
A user who has a system phone with programmable buttons should consider programming them with a combination of frequently used features and outside and intercom telephone numbers.
Programming a Receptionist’s Extension
Call Handling Options
If you set up a centralized telephone answering position at extension 10, use the following settings to customize it:
■Immediate Call Answering. If the receptionist should answer all calls, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign all lines to extension 10. Additionally, Line Ringing for all lines at extension 10 should be set to Immediate Ring; the lines assigned at each user’s extension should be set to Delayed Ring or No Ring.
In Hybrid mode, Immediate Call Answering is the factory setting. (Lines are assigned as individual line buttons on the phone at extension 10 and all pool buttons assigned to users’ extensions are set to No Ring.)
■Backup Call Answering. If the receptionist should answer some lines only when a user does not pick up, Line Ringing for those lines at extension 10 should be set to Delayed Ring; the lines or pools assigned at each user’s extension should be set to Immediate Ring.
■No Answering. If some lines should not be picked up by the receptionist at all, either set Line Ringing for those lines at extension 10 to No Ring or simply use Line Assignment (#301) to remove those lines from extension 10. In either case, Line Access Restriction (#302) should be set to No Access for those lines at extension 10 to prevent the receptionist from using Direct Line Pickup to access those lines. The No Answering option is not recommended in Hybrid mode.
