64CHAPTER 6: FEATURE CODES
Feature Code | Some common telephone features are mapped to buttons (Hold, for |
Overview | example). However, the number of buttons varies on each model of VCX |
| phone. Furthermore, the number of VCX features exceeds the number of |
| buttons available on any phone. Feature codes allow the VCX telephone |
| feature set to be available to all VCX phones, regardless of the number of |
| buttons on the phone. |

| invoke a feature by entering the numeric code assigned to a particular |
| feature. For example, you can use a feature code to enable call |

| the telephone Display Panel. The next step is to enter the appropriate |
| feature code. If additional information is required, the Display Panel |

| However, you can invoke some feature codes without pressing the |
| Feature button by entering special feature code syntax with the |
| telephone keypad. See Using Feature Codes for information on both |
| feature code entry methods. |
