Flash; Flexible Function Keys - Panasonic DBS 576 Technical Manual

Chapter 5. Key Telephone Features

Flash

Description
You can send a flash signal on your telephone to release an outside line and then either automatically
reseize the same outside line or switch to extension dial tone status by pressing the FLASH or PROG
key.
Trunk programming determines whether your phone reseizes the outside line or switches to extension
dial tone status.
Note: The following is available for future use only: Alternatively, a extension setting determines
if pressing a CO key will place the call on exclusive hold or send a flash to the trunk.

programming).

Flexible Function Keys

Description
You can assign frequently used functions to programmable keys on key phones, DSS/72 consoles,
and EM/24 consoles. All keys not already assigned as line or speed dialing keys are available for
programming.
You can store either Fixed Feature codes or Flexible Feature codes in an FF key. (The LED of the
Flexible Function [FF] key will not light when digits are stored in the key.) Fixed Feature codes are
hard-coded and cannot be changed. Most features; however, can also be assigned flexible codes
according to the System Dial Plan. This allows the flexible codes to be changed in the dial plan
without having to re-program extensions.
When a flexible code is programmed into an FF key or soft key, the System translates the flexible
code into the fixed code. You can use either the Fixed Feature code or your System's Flexible Feature
code when programming FF keys. Table 5 on page 5-49 reflects both Fixed Feature codes and the
System defaults for Flexible Feature codes.
