2.4 Feature Programming Requirements
When planning the interface, the following information must be taken into account:
Line Sequences
The Wireless Telephone uses two types of key sequences to access PBX features and
multiple lines. Line sequences are those where the user presses the
LINE
button and then
a number button. The key-map design designates “line” keys that should be programmed
for line appearance so that they correspond to line sequences on the Wireless Telephone.
The line icon on the Wireless Telephone will reflect activity on the corresponding deskset
key. For this reason, it is recommended that line appearance keys be used only for line
access. If only one line is assigned to a particular Wireless Telephone, leave the other
designated line keys identified on the key maps unassigned. The corresponding Wireless
Telephone
Line
+ key sequences
will then have no function.
Function Sequences
Function sequences are those where the Wireless Telephone user presses the
FCN
button
and then a number button. Designated “function” deskset keys programmed to system
features such as Transfer and Conference may have their corresponding menu items
display on the Wireless Telephone function menu. See the key map diagram for the
function keys that are available for feature programming.
Function Menu Programming
Link 3000 MCU
Note that the function menu defaults set for the Wireless Telephones associated with the
Link 3000 MCU can be changed via the SpectraLink Operator’s Console. If the system
uses softkeys, to minimize unwanted interaction between system display and the Wireless
Telephone function menu display, configure the Wireless Telephone menu to include a
delay of one function key. The user will then have to press
FCN
twice before the Wireless
Telephone menu displays, allowing the first press of the
FCN
key to access softkey
functions. See
Link WTS, Link 3000 MCU: Operator’s Console
for further procedural
information. Another option may be to disable the softkey menu at the system and
exclusively use the SpectraLink menu. This would remove any unwanted interaction, but
may restrict the number of available features to the number of programmable keys on the
handset.
Link 150 MCU
For the Link 150 MCU, the Wireless Telephone function menu can only be changed via
remote configuration through the services of SpectraLink Customer Support.
NetLink Telephony Gateways
Menu options can be changed in the Administration Console of the NetLink Telephony
Gateways. The Delay function is used when the PBX uses softkeys. With Delay, when
the
FCN
key is pressed, the Wireless Telephone displays the features that are associated
with the softkeys so that one of these features can be selected first. If Delay is
programmed, pressing the
FCN
key twice will bring up the menus immediately. Under
the menu programming section of the Administration console there is an option to use
