Answering a Call To answer an incoming call, pick up the handset or, if you are using an
NBX Business Telephone, press the Speaker button.
The display panel on an NBX Telephone shows the name and extension of
an internal caller. If your organization purchases Caller ID service from
your telephone company and if the external caller allows Caller ID
information to be broadcast, the display panel shows the external caller’s
name and telephone number.
An unanswered call on any telephone on the NBX system is forwarded to
the point that you specify in NBX NetSet > User Information > Call
Forward. To specify the number of times that your telephone rings
before the call is forwarded or to specify where you want the call to go,
see
“Setting Your Call Coverage Point” later in this chapter.
Answering a
Second Call
On the NBX Business Telephone, when a new call arrives while you are on
a call:
1 Press Hold to put the current call on hold.
2 Press the Access button for the line on which the new call is arriving.
3 To return to the earlier call, hang up the new call, or put it on hold or
transfer it, and then press the Access button for the original call.
