The mode of operation determines how outside lines/trunks are provided to users, the types of operator consoles allowed, the features available, and how they work. Each system is registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate as a Private Branch Exchange (PBX), Hybrid, or Key system (factory setting). However, you can program the system to operate in any of the three modes: Hybrid/PBX, Key, or Behind Switch.
Planning Form Instructions
Under the System Mode heading in the System Operating Conditions section of
Form 1 (page 2), check one of the following:
■If the system will operate in Key mode, check Key. (This is the factory setting.) If need be, this mode can be changed to Hybrid/PBX mode at another time.
■If the system will operate in Hybrid/PBX mode, check Hybrid/PBX.
■If the system will be connected behind a larger system or a Centrex system, check Behind Switch and record the host’s dial codes for the Transfer, Conference, and Drop features so users can access these features on the larger system.
■If you check Permanent Key, the switch in the back of the processor module must be placed in the Permanent Key position. The switch cannot be changed without changing the FCC registration of the system.
