List of Feature Keys and their functions
Note, the icons displayed under each feature key item are only applicable when the feature key is mapped as a VLK.
Feature Key
Description
Call Appearance
Idle
Connected
Connected HD
This key is known as a
Call Key
and allows the user to
make or receive a single call. There must be an
available and idle
call key in order to make or receive a new call. The phone administrator should allocate
as many call keys on the phone as the maximum number of concurrent calls it is expected to handle. For
example, the minimum amount of call keys required to place a 3-‐way conference call on a single voice
service, consisting of the user and 2 remote parties, would be 2 call keys allocated to that voice service –
one for each remote party.
The VLKW shows the idle phone icon when no active call is assigned to the key. Otherwise the icon
changes to reflect the current call state (Call States and Call State Icons are described in the section
“
Making and Receiving Calls
”) and VLKW shows more information about the call, such as the call peer’s
name and number, if available. The VLKW may also change its background color to further reflect the
current state.
A Call Key may be bound to a voice service and is called a bound call key in that case (otherwise it is
known as an unbound call key). A bound call key is used to make/received on the bound voice service
only; this is one of the ways for a user to select a specific line to make a call.
A call key may be bound to a service that is a Shared Line. In that case when no call is on that key, the
VLKW information reflects the state of the respective Shared Call Appearance (SCA). See the section
Shared Line and Shared Call Appearances
for more details on this topic.
Line Monitor
Monitor a Line (voice service installed on the phone). The line events that are monitored include:
-‐
Ringing
: at least one incoming call
-‐
Holding
: at least one call holding
-‐
In Use
: at least one active call
-‐
Idle
: no calls
The VLKW shows the monitored service name and account user name (usually same as the account DID
number or extension).
This function must be bound to the specific voice service that it monitors.
BLF
(Busy Lamp
Field)
Monitor the call state of another extension. A BLF key must be bound to a service. The call events that are
monitored include:
-‐
Ringing
: at least one incoming call
-‐
Holding
: at least one call holding
-‐
Busy
: at least one active call
-‐
Idle
: no calls
-‐
Call parked
(against the monitored extension)
VLKW shows the bound service name and the monitored extension (or DID number, or account user
name).
Speed Dial
If a number has not been assigned, the VLKW shows no textual information. Otherwise it shows the speed
dial number configured and if the speed dial is bound to a service, the name of the service that it is bound
to. If the speed dial has a display name configured, the VLKW shows the display name, for example
John
Seymour
, instead of the assigned number.
Do Not Disturb
Off On
Turn on/off the
Do Not Disturb
feature. If the function is bound to a specific voice service, it is applied to
incoming calls on that service only. Otherwise, it is applied system wide to all incoming calls regardless
which service the calls are coming from.
Do Not Ring
Off On
Turn on/off the
Do Not Ring
feature. When the feature is enabled, incoming calls comes through as usual
however the phone does not play an audible ring – however, the call waiting tone will still be played
during a call waiting event.
This function cannot be bound to a specific voice service -‐ it is applied system wide to all incoming calls
regardless which service the calls are coming from.
