Codes Guide in the NBX NetSet utility for a list of features and codes

 

and how to use them.

 

Call Toggle — Available only on the NBX 2101 Basic Telephone. Use

 

this button to manage two telephone calls at the same time. See

buttons greatly reduces your ability to use some of the NBX system
