The four buttons on the "1633" row of an AUTOVON telephone are labeled
P, I, F, and FO for Priority, Immediate, Flash, and Flash-Override.
The fifth (normal) level is of course routine, with no priority code
attached.
My understanding is that many (most?) phones could not issue the
higher priority levels. Don't want some E-2 in a guard shack to
misdial a number and knock off a four-star who's speaking with the
Joint Chiefs. :)
