BusinessPhone - Analog Telephone
Welcome
Welcome to the User Guide for the Ericsson Analog Basic,
Medium and the ordinary Analog phone in the BusinessPhone
250 and BusinessPhone 50 system from Ericsson.
It is a state-of-the-art business communications system.
Its alliance of features and facilities effectively improves
communications for virtually any kind of organization.
To take full advantage of these advanced features and facilities
there is a line of phones, designed for ease of use in every
situation, e.g. the Ericsson Dialog 3105 Basic and 3145 Medium
analog telephones are very versatile and adaptable phones.
Note: The features described in this user guide are
related to version 5.0 of the BusinessPhone 250 and
BusinessPhone 50 system. Some might not work in
earlier versions of the system and/or might be protected by
a hardware dongle that has to be bought separately.
This guide will demonstrate how the Analog phone helps you access the
functions of the BusinessPhone 250 and BusinessPhone 50 system.
Important
The BusinessPhone 250 and BusinessPhone 50 system supports
all types of analog telephones, but some features require that an
Ericsson Basic or Medium analog telephone is connected to the
system.
Throughout the guide you will be advised if a function is adapted
for a particular telephone or not.
Note: Since the Ericsson Basic and Medium analog
telephones easily can be switched between pulse and
tone dialling they can be connected to all types of
telephone exchanges, but remember that analog
telephones must be connected to analog lines.

(internal or external), your system administrator can program
your extension to automatically divert the call to a programmed
diversion address.
