Mappings
Button Mappings allow you to place features, such as speed dial numbers
and shortcuts, on telephone buttons for individual telephones or for
telephone groups. In addition, you can use Button Mappings to map CO
telephone lines to buttons and set up your system in one of these modes:
■
Key Mode system — In Key Mode, all outside lines map to individual
buttons on users’ telephones. You can share lines by assigning one
line to multiple telephones. Incoming calls ring on all telephones that
have that line assigned. Any of those telephones can answer the call.
■
PBX (Private Branch eXchange) system — In a PBX system, outside
lines are pooled and arbitrated by the Call Processor. To call an outside
number, a user must dial the line pool access number, typically 9, and
the Call Processor assigns the next available line.
■
Hybrid Mode
system — In hybrid mode, some lines are assigned as
keyed lines, while the rest are pooled.
You must use NBX Business Telephones to operate the system in key
mode or hybrid mode. NBX Basic Telephones operate in PBX mode only.

Mapping Access
Buttons
NBX Telephone Access buttons have these characteristics:
■
NBX 3101 and 3101SP Basic Telephones each have four Access
buttons. Only two buttons can serve as line appearances, primary or
secondary bridged station appearances or any other feature. The
other two buttons cannot be mapped as line appearances or primary
bridged station appearances, but the NBX administrator can map any
other feature to these buttons. These two buttons are mapped by
default as Transfer and Feature, and changing these default mappings
can limit the features you can access.
■
On NBX 1102, 2102, and 1102-IR Business Telephones, you can assign
CO telephone lines or line pool access only to buttons that have lights.
