Functions You Can Use

Basic and Enhanced Functions

You can use all basic and enhanced communications platform functions that appear interactively on the screen, in the Program/Service menu, and when you press function keys.

Additional Team and Executive/Secretary Functions

ÆPage 92f.

To help working and project groups work together more efficiently, the service technician can configure a variety of team functions, depending on your preferences when working in the team. You can use these team func- tions in addition to the basic and enhanced functions.

In addition to call pickup, hunting groups (group call), and call distribution groups, you can also set up teams with multiple lines per telephone. You can tell if a telephone has trunk keys if your station number and the numbers of your colleagues are programmed on trunk keys. You can ac- cess all lines and can also conduct different calls simultaneously on multi- ple lines.

Another team function category includes the executive/secretary functions,which are configured by the service technician. You can use ex- ecutive and secretary functions in addition to the basic and enhanced func- tions as well as other team functions.

An executive/secretary telephone has DSS keys for the executive or sec- retary, trunk keys for the executive and secretary, as well as ring transfer keys.

Using the Telephone Efficiently

You probably have certain colleagues or external parties with whom you talk on the phone especially frequently. To dial these numbers fast-

er and more conveniently, you can save them on keys

(Saving station numbers for repertory dialing on keys Æ Page 24).

All too often you reach a busy line when dialing a number. Amid the confusion of your working day, it’s easy to forget to try the number

again later on. To avoid this, make it a habit to use the "Callback" Æ Page 23 function.
