Key Mode 3
Use the following guidelines to assign buttons for a system in Key mode.
NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:
When assigning buttons in Key mode, keep in mind that BRI lines are not
automatically assigned to telephones or DLCs.
For Key mode with multiline telephone users:
■ You can assign ICOM Voice, ICOM Ring, or ICOM Orig Only buttons to
each extension.
■ Assign additional ICOM Ring, ICOM Voice, or an ICOM Orig Only button
for people who frequently receive or make transferred calls. The ICOM
Orig Only button ensures that if all intercom buttons are busy, at least one
is still available to make a call or to transfer the current call.
■ Assign additional outside lines, including special-purpose lines such as
WATS or FX.
■ Remove or rearrange the eight factory-set line assignments, if desired.
■ For all types of telephones for which you want the extension user to receive
outside calls on a specific line, assign a personal line to a button on the
telephone or adjunct.
■ Consider assigning a Loudspeaker Paging button to make announcements
over an optional loudspeaker connected to the control unit. To make an
announcement, users press the button and speak into the handset. They
do not need to dial the extension of the loudspeaker paging system.
For Key mode with single-line telephone users, analog modems, fax machines, or
any other device connected to an 012 T/R, 016 T/R, or 008 OPT module or to an
MFM:
■ You can assign a combination of up to 10 ICOM Ring or ICOM Orig Only
buttons to each extension. (At least one intercom button must be assigned
to each single-line telephone or adjunct connected to an MLX telephone
using an MFM.) ICOM Voice buttons should not be assigned on single-line
telephones.
■ If you want the extension user to receive outside calls on a specific line,
assign a personal line to a button on the telephone or adjunct. The
extension user is automatically connected to the intercom line when the
receiver is lifted, and the user can select an outside line by dialing the
dial-out code (usually a ).
