To select a key, click on it. This will launch a pop-up allowing you to configure the key:
Use the drop-down list to select the operation you’d like that key to perform:
The possible options are as follows (although not all of these options may be enabled on your phone system):
• Nothing – this is used when a key is not assigned a function.
• Line – this key is used for a phone line. When programmed, pressing this key will cause the phone to go off-hook and ask you for digits to dial. When calls come into that phone line, this key can be used to answer those calls.
• Speed Dial – this configures the key as a speed dial. Enter the number you want this Speed Dial to call in the box provided.
• Do Not Disturb – configures the key as a Do Not Disturb key.
• Enhanced Monitored Extension – allows you to monitor another line. Enter the number of the extension you want to monitor in the box provided.
• Other Service – this is reserved for future services.
• Enhanced Park Call – this is used to park calls.
• Call List – this configured the key to show you recent calls.
• Directory – this configures the key to provide you with your internal directory.
• Intercom – this configures the key to launch a paging call to an individual phone.
• Voicemail – this configures the key as a speed dial to access your Voicemail.
• Directed Pickup – this configures the key as a speed dial to pickup calls ringing on a particular line. Enter the number of the extension you want to pick up calls for in the box provided.
Whichever option you chose for your key you may enter a label for the key. If your phone has a display next to the key you configured, this label will be shown on the phone display. Once you have finished configuring your key click on OK. The picture of the phone will be updated with the label you gave your new key assignment.
Once you have finished configuring your keys, click on Save changes to save your changes. You phone will pick up the changes you have made overnight. If you want the phone to apply the changes immediately, you may reboot it.
