The Free Programable Keys (FPK) are a very powerful utility to support enhanced telephony features. The feature is available for OpenStage 40/60/80.

For Users

The phone features a range of functions that can, if required, be programmed on programmable sensor keys.
The phone comes with nine (OpenStage 80), eight (OpenStage 60) or six (OpenStage 40) FPK, all of which can be programmed on two separate levels. The number of programmable key can by enhanced by connection one or two OpenStage key modules to the phone. Each key module has 12 additional keys.

The FPK for switching between the two programmable sensor key levels is preassigned (Shift key). This programmable sensor key should be maintained where possible so you can switch between the two FPK levels. The labels for the FPK are displayed on the lift side of the key. The FPK can also be programmed via the Web interface (WBM).
