bound to OBiTALK and inactive; line key 2 is unbound and actively handling a
call via SP1, while call keys 3 through 5 are all inactive, unbound and
available for calls.
Programmable Keys (PKs)
Programmable keys are feature keys that can be assigned an array of functions but cannot be assigned the call
function. The OBi1062and OBi1032 have 8 programmable keys that can be used for speed dials, assigned to the
busy lamp field (BLF) as well as functions such as do not disturb and switching between tabs. Figure 10 shows the
programmable keys mapped to functions listed on the printed insert. Printed inserts can be created online using
the OBi Printed Insert Generator. Go to

Near the bottom of the page there is a section o
n “Configure and Label Your Programmable Keys” with a “Generate
Labels
” button which can
be used to generate a label for printing.
Figure 17: Three examples of possible layouts for the programmable keys (PKs).
The image on the left of Figure 17 shows a combination of functions mapped to the PKs.
In this case, the Next Tab function is placed at PK1, putting it at the top of the PK list and nearest to the screen.
Placement of the next tab function on PK1 may be preferable particularly on the OBi1032 if all VLKs are in use. With
this approach to PK functionality we see the primary voice services listed on PK2
–
PK5, with PK5 mapped to a
cellular (mobile/GSM) phone via Bluetooth.
The middle image of Figure 17 shows a Key Phone approach to the mapping of the
programmable keys, where all voice services have been mapped to a
“Line Monitor” feature
key. In this example,
SP1 through SP6 are presented as Line 1
–
6 on PK1 through PK6, with the OBITALK service mapped to PK7 and a cell
phone attached via Bluetooth mapped to PK8. In this case, as many VLKs as required could be assigned as unbound
call keys to support each call, giving the flexibility of having multiple simultaneous calls without having the VLKs
bound to a specific voice service.
It’s important to note that in this example it would be important to ensure one VLK
per tab is assigned to the Next Tab function.
The rightmost image of Figure 17 shows eight people within an organization and their
current call availability status based on the Busy Lamp Field (BLF) information. In this image, Kate, Steven and Lucy
are all on calls with all others available.
