							Flexible Button Assignment2-149
Features and Operation
Flexible Button Assignment 
Description
If you have buttons on your telephone, you may program them to suit your own needs. This 
feature also allows programming of flexible buttons from a remote location (off-site). Range 
programming can also assign these buttons to multiple stations.
The possible functions you may assign to these buttons include:

Outside Line -- Automatically accesses assigned line. (User programmable)

DSS/BLF -- Automatically signal assigned station and provides BLF for off-hook and DND. 
(User programmable)

Feature -- Any feature with a dialing code (Personalized Messages, Paging, Account 
Code, Call Park, Music, etc.) can be assigned to a flexible button. (User programmable)

Group Access (UCD, Hunt, Voice Mail group pilot numbers) -- User programmable.

Speed Dial -- Automatically dials Speed number. (System, Station, Saved Number Redial, 
Last Number Redial) (User programmable)

Pooled Group Access -- Some or all outside lines can be grouped; pressing this button 
accesses the highest numbered unused CO line in that group.(User programmable)

Loop -- Used to answer a transferred call on a line for which a user does not have a button 
assigned. (User programmable)

Unassign (Locked-Out) -- Specific buttons may be designated as unused or locked out. 
When a button is programmed as unused, the button may not be programmed by the 
station user using flexible button programming procedures.

Flexible Station Assignments -- Allows assignment of stations and complete flexibility 
within the system numbering plan. A station can be assigned a number between 
100-8999.
Flexible Button
Description
The Digital Telephone has 24 flexible buttons that can be programmed. One of the following 
six operations can be selected in programming for each button.
To assign a Flexible Button (user programmable):
Enter [BB], [0], [HOLD]
When a button is assigned as a flexible button [0], the user can program any features or 
functions on the buttons to which they have access. 
						

							2-150Flexible Button Assignment
Features and Operation
To assign a CO Line Button:
Enter [BB], [1], [LLL], [HOLD]
LLL = CO Line Number
Buttons assigned as specific CO lines provide 
direct access and appearance of the CO line at 
a station. The station receives call status 
indications such as LED flash rates for 
incoming ringing when the line is placed on 
HOLD, etc. CO Line ringing is programmed in 
CO Line Attribute programming.
To assign a Loop Button:
Enter [BB], [2], [HOLD]
Used for a station without direct CO line 
appearance to answer the line ringing in or 
transferred to the station. It is recommended 
that all stations be given a loop button so they 
can receive a transferred call on a line for 
which they have no button access.
To assign a Pool Group Button:
Enter [BB], [3], [GG], [HOLD]
GG = Line Group Number (00-23)
Some or all outside CO lines may be grouped 
together and accessed via a POOL button for 
the purpose of placing an outgoing CO call. 
Pressing this button accesses the highest 
numbered unused CO line in that CO line 
group.
To assign a Feature Button (admin programmable):
Enter [BB], [4], [XXX], [HOLD]
This feature enables flexible buttons to be programmed from a remote location (refer to 
“Default Numbering Plan” on page E-13). Range programming can be used to assign these 
buttons to multiple stations. When a button is assigned as a feature button [4], the 
programmer can program any features on the buttons.
To unassign (lock out) a button:
Enter [BB], [#], [HOLD]
If SLT stations must be programmed for off-hook preference, program the desired CO line, 
or CO line group the SLT must access when going off-hook.
To assign a CO Line for an SLT (with off-hook preference)
