12. Appendix B: Program Analog Features
12.1 Defining Macros
On an analog telephone system, telephone system features such as transfer, hold, or speed
dial are usually accessed via key presses or hook flashes. The Link Wireless Telephone
System allows these features to be customized using system macros. These features can
then be accessed from all Wireless Telephones by pressing FCN followed by a digit. The
macro definitions are the same for all Wireless Telephones in the system.
For example, suppose your telephone system uses FLASH * 7 to transfer a call. On the
Link Wireless Telephone System, you can assign the transfer function to FCN 2. When
the Wireless Telephone user presses FCN followed by 2, the telephone system will enter
the transfer function. Using macros instead of complicated key presses makes it easier
for users to remember and access features.
!! Do not program analog features on a digital system. Macro definitions are made up of combinations of the following characters:
0 to 9 TheWireless Telephone keys numbered 0 to 9
# TheWireless Telephone # key
* TheWireless Telephone * key
F Flash
S Pause 65 milliseconds
The Link Wireless Telephone System will accept programming for eleven functions. The
maximum number of key entries for each function is 20.
Open Application Interface
For digital and analog systems with Open Application Interface (OAI) software, the user
may press FCN key sequences to access certain applications. Macro assignments are also
used to assign a function key to initiate an OAI application.
12.2 Plan Programming
Before programming the features, review the manual for your telephone system to
determine what keystrokes are used to access the desired functions. Then determine
which function key numbers should be assigned to these functions on the Link Wireless
Telephone System.
