BroadCloud Feature Access Codes

Feature Access Codes (FACs), also known as Star Codes, are codes that can be entered through the phone keypad to control the configuration of certain features.

To use an FAC, simply off-hook the phone and enter the appropriate Feature Access Code (see List of Feature Access Codes below). For features that require additional input, follow the audible prompts to input the required additional information.

Note:
Not all station types support all features. If the station being used does not support a feature associated with a given Feature Access Code, the feature access code will not work for that station.

 

List of Feature Access Codes (Star Codes) 

The following list of Feature Access Codes includes a short description of each code. A shorter list, containing all the codes, but without the descriptions, is attached to this knowledge article and may be printed off separately and used as an Aide Memoire if required.
