Configure the programmable keys of telephone devices associated to company members

Agent tools Edit article Translate article Show labels

The number of available programmable keys depends on the type of telephone device.

A key can be programmed for:

• Speed dial: to reach a company member, hunt group or external number
• Supervision: to supervise the state of a company member and to intercept his incoming calls
  Note: A hunt group cannot be supervised via a programmable key. Only incoming calls are supervised. Clicking on an idle supervision key will call the supervised user.
• Forward: to forward incoming calls to a company member, hunt group or external number
• Headset: to use the headset instead of the handset, if plugged
• Audio Hub: to use the telephone device as a USB audiohub for the computer of the company member
