3.4. Alphanumeric keyboard and call buttons.
Standard numeric keyboard with 12 keys that,
among many other functions, allows the user to
dial IP addresses and port numbers in when
calling in RTP mode, or to type letters and
symbols when in SIP (Session Initiation
Protocol) mode.
It can also be used to type text: just press each
key repeatedly to switch between the different
letters available for the same key, just like you
would do to type an SMS on a mobile phone.
Depending on the status, the "OK" key (with a green telephone) allows the user to initiate a call
or accept an option within a menu. On the other hand, the "ESC / DEL" key (with a red
telephone) can hang up a communication, delete or go back in a menu (it will also light in red for
around 15 seconds when the unit is turned on, until the welcome screens appear).
When the "OK" key is pressed from the idle screen to make a call, the alphanumeric keyboard
gets illuminated in red when the call is to be made in PROG, or in green when the current
channel is COORD.
Dialing in PROG
Dialing in COORD
The keys are illuminated laterally; this way it is possible to determine whether the channel is
PROG or COORD even by color-blind people
NOTE: The * key shifts between capitals, lower case and numbers. When you are typing, keys
1 and # allows you to enter special characters (@ and "." among them) and key 0 can generate
number "0" or spaces.
The # key is also a shortcut to switch between MIC4 and LINE (provided that we are not typing
into a text menu).
