These can also be assigned as an OAI function key to work in conjunction with Openworx for Dialer and Message reader. In an 2000 system they are buttons 98 and 99 in key data.

In a 2400 you need the circuit card with firmware that supports the two additional buttons. The same applies here as well as these buttons can be assigned for OAI fuctions with an Openworx server.

This message board will not allow me to attach an Application note for just this issue.

Give me your email address and I will email the file to you.

It should shed light onto what you are attempting.
