Systematic Telephony
The OpenCom 100 / Aastra 800 communications system, referred to hereafter as "the
OpenCom 100 / Aastra 800", enables the connection of standard terminals (standard
analogue telephones, ISDN telephones and cordless GAP telephones). SMS-enabled
terminals and SIP terminals can also be used. It is possible to operate the so-called
standard terminals on an Aastra 800 communications system if the system is
equipped with the corresponding telephony interface cards.
With this configuration you can telephone conveniently and use the features of the
OpenCom 100 / Aastra 800 via code-number procedures. This guide describes how
you operate your telephone in order to use the desired functions. In most cases, you

sequence of digits.
Please note the specific operating characteristics of your telephone:
On standard analogue telephones featuring pulse dialling, it is not possible to enter

data with the star key
or hash key
.
As a result, the functionality of the OpenCom 100 / Aastra 800 features is only
available to you on a limited basis. It is thus better to use telephones equipped with
dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) dialling. Modern telephones often allow you to
switch between the two dialling modes.
When telephoning via SIP (i. e. telephoning via the Internet Protocol "Session Initi-
#
ation Protocol") entry of the hash key
is only permitted at the end of a code-
number procedure or of a call number. You can thus only use a part of the code-
number procedures on a SIP terminal. Furthermore, some SIP terminals offer oper-
ation of features at the mere press of a button. Please review the user guide of the
manufacturer.
In the case of ISDN telephones, certain features can be operated via menus or
function keys. Refer to the operating instructions of these telephones for details.
On telephones with a display, you can read the caller's call number if the telephone
supports this feature and the caller has activated it. What other information is dis-
played depends on the telephone. Charge display (ISDN telephones only) requires
prior configuration by your network operator.
