Button Programming
The MLS-34D phone shown in Figure 2-4 illustrates the following programmed
buttons in addition to some other system features:
■
Extension Numbers. Auto Dial buttons are programmed for extensions
11 through 28, starting with the top left button shown in Figure 2-4. The
receptionist can use these buttons to dial or transfer calls to the
extensions with one touch. In addition, the lights of this Auto Dial button
show the status of the extension, so the receptionist can tell whether the
phone at the extension is idle (no lights on), busy (red on), calling the
receptionist (green flash), or ringing back after the receptionist
transferred a call (green flutter).
■ Manual Signaling. If a Manual Signaling button is programmed for an
extension, the receptionist can use it to signal the target extension. When
the button is pressed, the user at the target extension will hear a tone for
as long as the button is pressed. This feature is typically used by a
receptionist to alert the boss of an important incoming call when the boss
is already on a call. The lights of a Manual Signaling button work like an
Auto Dial button to show the status of the target extension. Additionally, a
Manual Signaling button can be used to place intercom calls. (Manual
Signaling applies only to system phones.) See “Manual Signaling” in
Chapter 5 for more information.
NOTE:
You can have only one button for a destination extension per
extension. The button can be programmed as a Manual Signaling
button or as an Auto Dial button for intercom ringing or voice signaling.
■
Fax Management. A button (labeled Fax-29) is programmed as a Fax
Management button for the fax machine connected to extension 29. The
lights next to the button show what is happening at the fax machine (for
example, red broken flutter indicates that the fax machine is not
responding—like when it is out of paper). (For more information, see “Fax
Management Feature” in Chapter 4).
