## Programmable And Fixed Keys

## Definition

### A programmable key

is a key on a system telephone that can be assigned various functions by programming.

### A fixed key

is a key on a system telephone that is assigned a fixed function.

## Use

The fact that system telephones possess fixed and programmable keys enables each extension with such a telephone to be assigned precisely those functions that best benefit the extension.

### Functions

#### Fixed keys

For the DBC 211, DBC 212,DBC 213 (picture below shows only the first column) and DBC 223 telephones the layout of the fixed keys can be selected from following possibilities:

For the DBC 220 and DBC 222 the layout of the fixed keys can be selected from following possibilites (picture below shows only the first column).

Note

for “business layout 2”. Although the Diversion key is on the second layer, the LED in case of diversion or follow me is active.

For the DBC 211, DBC 222, DBC 223, DBC 212 and DBC 631 telephones also a special ACD-configuration can be programmed.

More information see ACD-agent (document 106/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

## Limitations

The functions of the programmable keys can be altered via system programming.

For the system it is also possible to state which functions shall be permitted for individual programming.

### Individual Programming

It is possible to assign the individual extension the possibility to program his keys himself.

The scope of this possibility is determined by assigning the extension a facility category (COS) that includes the desired functions.

For individual programming, see Facility Description (155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).
