Basic functions

Secure voice transmission

Prerequisite: The secure voice communication option must be activated by

your administrator.

If you call a party or receive a call from a party over a secure connection, a pad-

lock icon

appears on the other party’s row on your graphic display. You can opt

to have voice connections that are no longer secure indicated by a brief alerting

tone and a window with the message "Unencrypted call" (see

 Page 225).

Emergency mode

If a failover system has been set up for your OpenScape Voice, you can still

make calls and use the functions of the failover system, for example, despite

network faults.

If it happens that your telephone is no longer connected to OpenScape Voice, it

is registered automatically on the configured failover system. The message

"Emergency mode (B8)" then appears on the display.

Some functions may not be accessible while in emergency mode, for example:

• Call forwarding ( Page 77)

• Voicemail (

• Callback (

• Group functions (
