2.2. Function keys & codes
On the administration portal you can assign the following functions to any function key:
- Telephone number
- Busy Field Light (BFL)
- Intercom
- Function code
- Services
Please refer to the administration portal manual for detailed information.
Telephone number
You can program any telephone number to one of your function keys. Pressing the programmed function key then starts a telephone call.
Busy Field Light (BFL)
1. You can program any extension to one of your function keys. Pressing the programmed function key starts a telephone call.
2. A flashing LED for the respective function key indicates an incoming call to the extension. To pick up the call, simply press the flashing function key. In order to pick up calls, all parties must be members of a pick-up group.You have now picked up the call.
3. If the monitored extension (Busy Field Light (BFL)) is busy, the LED for the respective function key remains lit.
Program field keys freely programmable as function keys
Note: 8 function keys can be configured on each of the 3 pages so there are 24 function keys in total. You can switch between the pages by pressing the page keys below the function keys.
ATTENTION: only 21 of the 24 function keys can be used. The last 3 function keys are reserved as line keys.
Intercom
Program any extension to one of your function keys, to then be able to communicate with this extension directly via the intercom by pressing this function key. However, the other party must also have the intercom activated on their telephone. Intercom refers to a conventional intercom system (similar to walkie-talkies), directly connecting you to the other party’s speaker by pressing the assigned function key.

Function code
You can also program functions such as call forwarding to function keys by entering various codes (see “Functions via control codes (* codes)” leaflet). Pressing the programmed function key then activates or deactivates this function.

Services
Program any telephone system feature (queue, caller group, virtual conference room, etc.) to one of your function keys. This requires the service being assigned to an extension. Pressing the programmed function key then initiates a call to the service.

Control codes allow direct access to the telephone system’s functions. The following codes apply:
