When calls are made to a station in '''Private mode''', the station will be ringing like a telephone, and the called user has to accept the call by pressing the [[M-key]] or lift the handset.

Private mode can be set: 
* By selecting "Private" mode on the station. On IP stations the '''C-button must be pressed for 3 seconds'''. Analog stations have a switch or a jumper on the circuit board to set the station in Private mode. 
* By enabling the [[Open / Private selection feature|Programable Open/Private]] in AlphaPro, then dial 7887 to set the station in Private mode.
* By setting the [[Users_%26_Stations_(AlphaPro)#Station_Type|"Always Private"]] flag in AlphaPro



Note: When using the feature ''Programable Open/Private'', the current state (private or open) is stored in [[state data]], thus will be removed during "chilly reset".



On IP stations the private mode is toggled by holding the C-key pressed in idle. Controlling private/open by C-key is disabled if:
* The IP station is of hardware type without display, (I.e. no keyboard)
* "Always Private" flag is set
* "Always Open" flag is set

The use of C-key on IP station will simultaneously set both the state of "current programmed private mode" and "state of hardware switch".
