Using the PBX from a phone

This section will show you how to use the pbxnsip PBX with a standard Voice over IP-phone. Although the usage of different phones varies significantly, you can use most of the features of the PBX in a similar way.

The access codes shown in this manual are the default codes. Your system administrator may assign different codes for the available features. In that case, you should receive a list of the functional feature codes. If the default codes have not been changed, you can see an overview on Default Feature Codes.

Many phones require that you press the Ok button (like on the cell phone) to start a call; other phones may accept pressing the pound (#) key or a check mark key instead. However, for the usage of the PBX that does not make any difference.
