Using Different Telephone Types

Using Different Telephone Types
According to the type of telephone used, there are differences in the operation and
programming of the PBX. The following telephones can be operated at the PBX:
Analog Telephones (PD and DTMF)
If you are already in a call state with another subscriber (internal or external), you have to press
the Flash key (signal key, R key) first on a DTMF phone before dialling a digit, e.g. for a call
transfer.
PD phones do not have a Flash key. Moreover, there will be no asterisk (*) or pound key (#) or
there will be no function assigned to these keys. Since these keys are required for the major
part of all call types (e. g. internal calls at a direct exchange access point) as well as to make
settings (programming), it is not possible to perform these functions with PD phones. They can
only initiate and accept simple calls. If your telephone offers both dialling modes, you should
therefore set it to DTMF.
Analog T-Net Telephones
On some analog DTMF telephones, specific T-Net functions can be performed in the analog T-
Net via the menu or via specific function keys. If you are operating such a telephone as an
internal subscriber, you can also use these comfortable operation modes for some functions of
the PBX. Please note that the T-Net functions of the telephone are limited because the PBX
doesn't support some functions. If you wish to use the T-Net functions of your telephone, please
refer to the manual for the telephone. When entering telephone numbers, take care to enter the
leading exchange line access number. Instead of an "announcement of the central office", you
will hear the confirmation tone for successful programming.
ISDN Telephones
To be able to operate your ISDN telephone, you have to make yourself acquainted with its
functions. To do this, read the manual for the telephone or use the ISDN telephone help files
provided by Auerswald if your telephone is listed here (included on the Auerswald Mega Disk
and on the Auerswald homepage). It is vital to know which key (e.g. hold or R key) or menu you
have to use to initiate a query call. To use some functions, you have to rely completely on the
menus/keys of the telephone (see notes). The digits to be dialled for analog telephones are not
required here.
System Telephones
As described in this manual, you can use the major part of the PBX functions with all connected
telephones. With the COMfortel 1100, COMfortel 1500, COMfortel 2500, COMfortel 2500 AB,
and COMfortel VoIP 2500 AB system telephones, the operation is more comfortable, since the
