Secretary Key on Boss Telephone
Note:
It is not possible to configure boss keys and secretary keys to exist simultaneously on the same telephone;  this means that a telephone cannot be both a boss telephone and a secretary telephone at the same time.

When operated on the PBXs COMpact 3000 analogue/ISDN/VoIP, COMpact 5010 VoIP, COMpact 5020 VoIP, COMpact 4000, COMpact 5000/R, COMpact 5200/R, COMpact 5500R and COMmander 6000/R/RX: A maximum of one secretary key can be configured on a boss telephone. Multiple secretary telephones must be linked in a group.
