MBX IP Station User Guide
General
Release 1.7
April 2012
Your telephone is connected to an advanced-technology, highly-versatile, fully-featured
telecom system designed to make office communications easy and productive. Employing
state-of-the-art Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology, voice and data converge on a
single IP packet network.
Feature Information
We have taken every effort to make this user guide simple and straightforward. The guide starts
with the simpler operations of the MBX IP Phone Speakerphone, moves on to receiving and
placing calls, and then to more advanced features. Each section includes a brief and basic
description of each feature and step-by-step operation instructions.
The operations shown in this guide use the System's base default Numbering Plan. Your
specific Numbering Plan may be different. Some features may not be available for you to
access or may be subject to certain limitations based on the set-up of the System.
Under certain operating conditions, this equipment may not be able to make emergency calls.
Alternative arrangements should be made for access to emergency services.
Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
Feature Groupings
Every effort has been taken to divide the features into a logical and consistent sequence so that
features can be quickly located.
Features have been divided into groups, starting with Basic Call Handling, then Receiving Calls,
Placing Calls etc. Within each group, features are arranged according to the difficulty of
operation and frequency of use.
NOTE: Some digital telephones that can be connected to the MBX IP only have a 2 line LCD. These
digital telephones will not make use of the softkey functions that the
MBX IP system provides.
