The Central Answering Position (CAP)
The Central Answering Position (CAP) consists
of a T7316E telephone and one to nine T24 Key
Indicator Modules (KIM).
The CAP allows you to:
• answer incoming calls and transfer them to
your co-workers’ telephones,
• check the busy/not busy or Do Not Disturb
status of the telephones in your system, and
• use many more features and autodial
numbers with one-touch access.
The T24 Key Indicator Module (KIM)
The T24 Key Indicator Module (KIM) is an add-on
device that provides 24 extra memory or line buttons
for the T7316E telephone.
You can connect up to 9 KIMs to the T7316E telephone. One KIM is connected to the side of the
T7316E telephone; up to eight more KIMs can then
be connected to the first KIM. The KIM displays the
call status of the phone that it is connected to.
Refer to the T24 KIM Installation Card for installation instructions.
The enhanced CAP
Your system administrator must assign your CAP as an enhanced CAP/
KIM in system programming in order for you to have external line, target
line and Hunt group appearances on your KIM buttons. You can receive
external calls only when CAP is operating in enhanced mode.
If you want more line buttons programmed on your CAP or more
information on using Hunt groups, see your system administrator.
Customizing your CAP
Before you start answering or making calls on your CAP, you need to
customize your CAP to help you manage your calls your more efficiently.
Customizing consists of:
• Programming memory buttons
• Moving lines from the T7316E telephone buttons to KIM buttons on
enhanced CAPs

• Labeling buttons on your CAP (T7316E telephone and KIM)
Programming memory buttons
The default for KIM memory buttons is blank. You can program memory
buttons on the KIM to your personal preference with internal and external
autodial numbers or features to give you touch dialing or feature activation.
If you are operating CAP in enhanced mode, you can program buttons for
target line and Hunt groups as well. When you use enhanced mode, you
can also program duplicate buttons. For example, you can program more
than one button for a particular target line or external auto dialler.
Tip: Internal autodial numbers can be automatically assigned to KIM
memory buttons when a coldstart is performed. Refer to the “KIM
coldstarts” section in this guide for more information.
