Configuring Softkeys
95
Many softkey functions allow you to customize the label of the softkey. When you define a long
top softkey label, the 6873i will attempt (if possible) to intelligently split the label on to two lines.
You can also manually split any top softkey label on to two lines by using adding two vertical
bar characters (i.e. ||) in between the characters you want to split. For example, defining a top
softkey label as Alexandra||Wilkonson places a carriage return after Alexandra.
Paging
Indicates the key is configured as a Paging key. When pressed, the phone can
send Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP) streams from a pre-configured
multicast address without involving SIP signaling.
Login
Indicates the key is configured as a Visitor Desk Phone (VDP) Login key. For
VDP feature availability and details, please contact your System Administrator.
Discreet Ringing
Indicates the key is configured as a Discreet Ringing key. When the Discreet
Ringing feature is enabled, if a call is incoming, the phone will play the
configured ring tone once only. Pressing the Discreet key will allow you to toggle
on/off the feature.
Call History
Indicates the key is configured as a Call History key. When pressed, the Call
History softkey allows users the ability to directly access the list of all calls in the
Call History.
Empty
Indicates the key has no function assigned but should be displayed as any
empty softkey on the phone’s screen.
Note:
Keys can also be set up to quickly to access features such as call return (*69) or
voicemail. Quick access features like call return and voicemail must first be configured
on your PBX in order to work on your phone. See your System Administrator for more
information.
