Introduction To The Bm12 Button Module - Avaya BM12 User Manual

Introduction to the BM12 Button Module

The BM12 Button Module extends the number of call appearances and feature buttons on your
telephone. It provides 24 additional lines for incoming calls, outgoing calls, and calling features
using two pages of 12 call appearances/features each. Typical uses are:
to provide additional lines for calls bridged from one or more other extensions,
●
to provide abbreviated dialing buttons, and
●
to provide buttons to access additional features like call forwarding.
●
Note that the call appearances the button module displays also appear in the call appearances
list on your telephone. Similarly, the 9608 and 9611G also present the features the button
module displays in the Features list on your telephone; the 9641G does not present button
module features on the Features list.
!
Important:
The BM12 is currently compatible with the 9608, 9611G, and 9641G IP
Important:
Deskphones, which support up to three serially attached button modules. The
9608 and 9611G are button-based models, meaning that you use the hard
buttons under each softkey that displays on the screen to initiate and perform
actions. The 9641G IP Deskphone is a touch-based model, meaning that you
touch the desired line (for example, a call appearance or feature) or a softkey
directly on the display screen to initiate and perform actions. Except for generic
procedures like answering a call or accessing features, the procedures in this
guide are separated according to the type of deskphone (button-based or
touch-based) you have.
Note:
When multiple button modules are used with a 9608, 9611G, or 9641G
Note:
deskphone, the button modules must all be the same type. For example, you
cannot attach a BM12 Button Module and an SBM24 Button Module to the same
deskphone.
