To make a call, seize one of your INTERNAL/EXTERNAL keys by pressing the
A receiver key; you can then make an external or internal call immediately
(depending on the system setting), see the chapter External/Internal Calling
starting on page 41.
Direct call key with signalling
“Direct call keys with signalling” are special call keys that allow a connection to be
set up to one destination partner only. When you are making a call using a “direct
call key with signalling” your phone’s other call keys remain free. This means other
callers can reach you.
MULTIPLE key
A MULTIPLE key is a call key (device key or INTERNAL/EXTERNAL key) programmed
on several phones. This means that MULTIPLE keys have the same (internal) call
number. The phones involved represent a team; calls to one team member are sig-
nalled to all the MULTIPLE keys on the phones of the other team members.
A MULTIPLE key is operated in the following way:
■ When a call is made to a team member you can use the key to answer the call in
his/her place.
■ You can use the key to make calls yourself. In this case you will be occupying
the team member’s call number.
■ Depending on whether your MULTIPLE key is a team member’s INTERNAL or
EXTERNAL key you can set up internal or external connections using the
MULTIPLE key.
Please refer to the Team Functions starting on page 59 chapter for further infor-
mation.
Team direct call key
A “team direct call key” is used to program the internal call number of another
team member. Selecting this key allows you to answer a call on behalf of the other
team member or to make a call to the other team member. Please refer to the
Team Functions starting on page 59 chapter for further information.
Note:
A team direct call key is usually set up in a team configuration. Your system
administrator can also set up a team direct call key for you without it being
assigned to a team.
