Key System or PBX System

For IP Office Release 7.0+ the system mode can be changed between key system mode and PBX system mode. The selected mode affects a number of controls, mainly around the making of outgoing calls and the routing of incoming calls.

The default mode that the system adopts depends on the type of System SD card fitted to the system. Systems with a PARTNER, Norstar or IP Office U-Law card default to key system mode. Systems with an IP Office A-Law card default to PBX system mode.
