Introduction: Phone Status Letters
1.11 Appearance Buttons/Menu
Appearance buttons are used to represent calls made and received by you and other users on the telephone system. They are configured by your system administrator. Normally your first 3 buttons are call appearance buttons but additional buttons can be configured as appearance buttons.
There are 4 different types of appearance keys that your system administrator can configure:
∙Call Appearance Buttons
21
These represent ordinary phone calls. Each call appearance that you have can be used to make and or receive calls. By default you normally have 3 call appearance keys and no other appearance keys.
∙Bridged Appearance Buttons
23
These appearance keys each match a specific call appearance key of another user. They allow you to answer the other user's calls on the matching call appearance or to make a call that the other user can then pickup using their matched call appearance.
∙Call Coverage Buttons
25
These appearance keys represent another user. When that other user has any calls alerting unanswered, the call coverage key for that user will start alerting and can be used to answer the call.
∙Line Appearance Buttons
27
These represent specific phone lines connected to the telephone system. You can use the button to make calls using that line or to answer calls on that line. Several users can have line appearance keys that represent the same line. Your phone's display and the key lamps will indicate when the line is being used by other users as well as by yourself.
Appearance Button Display/Menu

This menu is used to display information about the 
buttons that have been configured for appearance functions. These will normally be the first 3 button on the phone but the system administrator can configure additional buttons.

up and down 
arrow keys you can scroll through the details of each of the buttons.
The display for buttons that currently have a call in progress will show details of the associated call.
The display for buttons that are idle will show the default label for the button and also soft key labels for accessing the other main menus.
