10.4.3 Programmable Buttons - Functions

Activate Profile

Use the function to easily activate and deactivate a user profile.

Use:

Push the button with this function to activate the profile. The LED indicator of the respective button is shining while the profile is active. Re-push the same programmable button to deactivate the profile, or activate another profile, thus deactivating the current profile automatically. 

CLIR (Identification Restriction)

CLIR means Calling Line Identification Restriction. Use the function to hide your outgoing identification during call setup.

Use:

Push the function button before dialling the number (before picking up the handset). The active CLIR state is indicated by a shining button LED. Identification will be restricted for all subsequently set-up calls. Re-push the button to cancel the function.

Tip

  • The resultant effect of CLIR depends on additional settings of your PBX for calls outside the PBX. Consult your system administrator in the event of error.

Default

The programmable button with this "function" helps you use the functions defined by the PBX administrator. These functions can be "inherited" by connected terminals unless the user sets a function of its own that is always preferred to the global settings of the PBX.

Esc (Back)

Use the function primarily to easily quit a menu, cancel current actions, delete edited symbols and reject incoming calls. It is one of the most important functions of the terminal, which improves the user comfort above all.

Use:

Whenever the terminal gets into the state in which this function button can be used, the respective LED indicator will go on.

Flash (Call Holding)

Use the function to put a call on hold for call transferring or consulting purposes. The function also enables active and held calls to be switched.

Use:

Push the function button during a call. The call will be put on hold and you will hear the dialtone and can dial another station number. The opponent will hear music. Having set up the other call, you can push the same button to switch the calls.

HandsFree/Speakerphone

Use this function to make HandsFree calls. Some terminals are not equipped with an external microphone and cannot make full use of this function. For such terminals the Speakerphone function is available. This function uses the standard handset microphone instead of an external microphone and the call quality is usually lower.

Use:

If you push the button during an incoming call, you will answer the call in the HandsFree mode, which is signalled by the button LED. Re-push the button to terminate the call.

If you push the button during a call with your handset picked-up, the telephone switches into the HandsFree mode too. This is signalled by the button LED. Now you can hang up the handset without terminating the call.

Call Slot

Use the function to make multiple calls from one terminal by holding the previous call and setting up a new call using another call slot. By default, each terminal has three call slots.

Use:

Push the unused ("switched-off") call slot button during a call. The active call will be put on hold as with the Flash function, you will hear the dialtone and the held user will hear pre-defined music. If there are more calls in your terminal call slots, you can switch them using the respective call slot buttons. The active call slot LED is shining while the held call slot LED is flashing. The unused call slot LED is off. 

Intercom

Intercom is a special type of call where a predefined telephone number is dialled by pressing the Intercom function button and the called station receives the call automatically in the HandsFree mode. The function is suitable for flexible communication – you can speak the moment you push the button.

Tip

  • The Intercom function works with the 2N® StarPoint 500 telephones only; if a different telephone type is used, the call is not answered automatically.

Use:

Press and keep pressed the button with the Intercom function. Start speaking when you hear a beep. The called user answers the call automatically in the HandsFree mode. The called party gets an acoustic signal before the call. Keep the button pressed during the whole call. Release the button to terminate the connection.

Mute

Use the function to temporarily mute the microphone during a call.

Use:

Push the function button during a call. The opponent cannot hear you. The muted state is signalled by a flashing button LED indicator. Re-push the button to re-activate the microphone.

Call Recording

Use the function to enable call recording. This function is based on the PBX administrators's permission to record.

Use:

Push the button with the recording function any time during a call. The active state is indicated by the button LED. Re-push the button to stop recording. 

Do Not Disturb (DND)

Use the function to switch the terminal into the DND (Do Not Disturb) mode. In this mode, outgoing calls can be set up, but incoming calls are rejected. Missed calls are shown on the telephone display.

Use:

Push the button with the DND function. The active state is indicated by the button LED. Re-push the button to deactivate the function.

Profiles

Use the function to set a quick access to the Profiles menu.

Answered Calls

Use the function to set a quick access to the list of answered calls.

Received Messages

Use the function to set a quick access to the list of received messages.

Redial

Use the function to redial the last successfully dialled number (incorrectly dialled numbers are ignored).

Use:

Push the button with the Redial function and the terminal sets up a call to the last-dialled number automatically. If the handset is hung up at the moment, the call is set up in the HandsFree mode.

State/Speed Dialling

The button with the State function only enables you to monitor the activity of a selected user, station or port. In that case, the button LED indicates the following states:

  • Object at relax – the LED is off.
  • Object ringing – the LED is flashing quickly.
  • Object busy with call – the LED is shining continuously.

You can also use the State button for Speed dialling. This function helps you dial a selected number by pressing a single button. You can assign both user numbers and service access codes to the button.

Use:

Push the pre-defined button to dial the number. If the handset is hung up at the moment, the call is set up in the HandsFree mode.

Tip

  • The state and speed dialling functions can be combined as necessary. For example, you can monitor a station other than the speed-dialled one.

Phone Directory

Use the function to set a quick access to the phone directory.

Outgoing Calls

Use the function to set a quick access to the list of outgoing calls.

Missed Calls

Use the function to set a quick access to the list of missed calls.
