Call Appearance/Feature Buttons
The 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals have 34 call appearance/feature buttons,

buttons are administered as call appearances for the terminal’s primary extension

used for more call appearances (including bridged appearances of other stations’
extensions) and features. Buttons administered for features have only their status
lights active.
