Cisco IP Phone 6841, Administration Manual

Page: 132 / 240

Procedure
Step 1 On the Configuration Utility page, select Admin Login > advanced > Voice > Phone .
Step 2
In the Programmable Softkeys section, set the Programmable Softkey Enable to Yes .
Step 3 To configure a speed dial PSK, enter the following in the PSK number field:
fnc=sd;ext=extensionname/starcode@$PROXY;vid=n;nme=name
Where:
• fnc= function of the key (speed dial)
• extensionname=extension being dialed or the star code action to perform
• vid= n is the extension that the speed dial will dial out
• name is the name of the speed dial being configured
The
name
field displays on the softkey on the IP phone screen. We recommend a maximum of 10
characters for a phone. If more characters are used, the label might be truncated on the phone screen.
Note
Step 4 Edit the following:
•
Idle Key List:
Edit the field as described in the following example:
redial|1;newcall|2;dnd;psk1
If the user incorrectly configures the programmable softkey list features on the phone, the key list on
the phone LCD does not update. For example:
• If a user enters rdeial;newcall;cfwd (redial has been misspelt), the key list is not updated and the
user does not see any change on the LCD.
• If a user enters redial;newcall;cfwd;delchar, the user will not see a change on the LCD, as the
delchar softkey is not allowed in the
Idle Key List . Hence, this is an incorrect configuration of the
programmable softkey list.
• PSK1:
fnc=sd;ext=5014@$PROXY;nme=sktest1
In this example, we are configuring a softkey on a phone as a speed dial number for extension 5014
(sktest1).
Note
You can also configure an XML service on the programmable soft key. Enter the string in this format:
fnc=xml;url=http://xml.service.url;nme=name
Step 5 Click Submit All Changes .
Programmable Softkeys
The following table lists each softkey and the phone state under which the softkey displays. You can have a
maximum of 16 softkeys for each call state field.
