NEC DTerm80 phone

Have a coworker call your extension to see if DND is on, they will go straight to voicemail or get a fast busy. Speaker 42 may be the default cancel DND code, depending on your system and whether the codes were changed. Anyway, ringing is set up in system programming. If someone calls your extension it will likely ring, but outside calls have to be assigned to ring in system programming. Usually need a tech to do the programming since it gets complicated very quickly.

Press the headset softkey of programmed hard key.

First and foremost we need to know what system you have. Then we can proceed with how to program the button.

NEC Elite 48, 192, IPK 1

First pick the button you want to program. Lets say button 13 in this example. Next check to see if that button is programmed by pressing Feature and that key. If that key says Vacant then it is available for use.

Next you will need to hit "Feature and 4" on that station to find the port #. Port # is Tel 10 for example. That means port 10 is where your extension resides.

Now type in "Feature, #, 0 *, 8974". The phone should say Program Mode. Now look at the Line Keys. These are the keys right above the # pad. Count from left to right 4 keys. Hit Line Key 4 and then type 12 on the dial pad.

Now that we are in key programming we need to enter the port of your phone. Make sure the blinking cursor is on the far left. If not press * to move to the left. Now enter 10 (port 10 or Tel 10) on the dial pad. The cursor should be right near the L. If not then press # to move to that position on the right. Remember * will bring you back to the left and # to the right.

This is where you are to enter the key #. In our example it is key 13. Dial 13 on the dial pad. Next we are going to change the key to a headset key by pressing "Recall, Line key 3". It should say H Set on the right. Now that you have the proper key set you need to hit transfer to write the programming. Remember to try and find a key that is not programmed, this will ensure that you don't undo any programming that is already in place.

Any other system other than the NEC 48, 192 or IPK 1 will not work.

you need to program call forward all to outside number
speaker, dial 42, enter 9 plus phone number
speaker
it must be allowed in class of service though

this is done in system programming.

Do a search for a plantronics headset. All of theirs work well with NEC

Sure you can do it. as long as the headset has a plug for the handset your fine. Plug it in and you will have to pick up and hang up the handset as needed. The headset key eliminates you having to pick up and hang up the handset to answer with the headset.

I have the feature button blinkin and i think the do not disturb is on help.

For the DTU phone on an NEC Elite system:
Memory Block 4-12
put in the port number and the Lkey of the extension you want to make a headset key.
Programmin on a 16button phone, Lkey 11 needs to be lit and will display H SET to verify.

For the DTP phone, it is generally on an NEC 2000, which is entirely different.

How do I get the following off my display?
