Audio To be able to adjust sound with BeoCom 2, you must be in the same room as the sound source, regardless of whether it is in the main room or a link room.
System use with several handsets With several handsets registered to one base, you can make your own phone system. Handsets in the system are numbered 1–6 and can be named as well. You can make an internal call to a specific handset or to all handsets.
Call another handset You can call one handset or all handsets simultaneously. If you call all handsets, the handset that responds first receives the call. If you call one handset, the display shows which handset has been called. The phone system allows up to 2 internal calls and 1 external call to take place at the same time.
Page 19
Forward external calls You can forward an external call to one handset or to all handsets. You can speak with the person answering the internal handset, or you can forward the external call directly. When you forward an external call to all handsets, the call goes to the handset which answers first.
Page 20
Make a three-party call During an external call, you can call another party on an internal handset to establish a three-party call. If one party hangs up, the call continues with you and the remaining party. If you hang up, the three-party call is ended.

Set up handsets for ISDN services To set up your phone to meet your needs, consider how you want to make use of the individual handsets, and subscribe to the supplementary services you find most useful. – BeoLine ISDN supports the most common ISDN Digital Select Services.
Page 22
A number for each handset – MSN The Multiple Subscriber Numbering (MSN) service allows you to give each of your handsets its own telephone number. This can be practical if you want to know for whom a call is meant, or if you want separate itemised bills.
Page 23
Give each handset its own code Code 0: The handset rings regardless of which MSN number is being called. If you have a call on a code 0 handset, the other handsets cannot receive calls, and callers will hear a busy signal. You may find this useful, as the handsets will not ring while you are on the phone.
Page 24
Suspend a call – Terminal Portability If you subscribe to this service, you can suspend an active call if, for example, you wish to use another ISDN phone, such as a BeoCom 3. You can give the call a code by which it can be identified when the call is retrieved.
Page 25
Exclude an MSN number If, for example, you have a telefax or handset in your home office and do not wish to be disturbed by unanswered calls to other handsets in your phone system, you can prevent calls to MSN numbers from ringing in the home office.
Page 26
Withheld Number – CLIR and COLR If you do not want to reveal your telephone number during a call, you can choose to be anonymous. CLIR gives anonymity to calls originating from your main number, while COLR gives the same anonymity to calls originating from any number you use for Call Forwarding.
Call Forwarding This service forwards calls coming in to a specific MSN number onward to a designated number. If you subscribe to several extra MSN numbers and wish to use this service, you must activate Call Forwarding on each handset that has its own MSN number. Activate the service…...
