Softkeys (F1 – F12)
The softkeys are the F1 to F12 keys on your computer keyboard.
You use them to enter commands shown in the softkey area on
the screen. The commands are not fixed to a specific softkey;
instead, they change depending on the state of the call you are
handling or the feature you are using. For example, when you
call a busy extension, the F4 key might be used to request a
Callback. At another time, the same key, F4, could be used to set
up a conference call.
Handset and Cradle
The 5550 IP Console is equipped with a handset and cradle. You
can adjust the slope of the cradle and detach (or attach) it from
the console keypad.
Mitel Networks-approved headsets are also available for use with the
console.
See page 9 for more information about using the handset or a
headset.
