Softkeys

Softkeys have functions that change depending on the state of the call you are handling or the feature you are using. For example, when you call a busy extension the display will show the softkey functions that are available for handling the call. One of these functions is Override, another is Msg Waiting.

The [F1> to [F0> labels on the display correspond to the [F1> to [F0> keys on the consoles. To use a softkey function, press the [F1> to [F0> key that corresponds to the display label for that function.

Console Display

During call handling, the upper two lines identify the SOURCE or calling party [SRC] and the DESTINATION or called party [DST].

The two lower lines, labeled [F1> to [F0>, show the current softkey labels. For example, if [F8> is labeled [Override], pressing [F8> lets you override a busy extension’s conversation. At another time, the same key, [F8>, could be labeled [Night 1]. Now, pressing [F8> places the console in Night 1 operation.
