Setting parameters – Softkey Settings:
Softkey Settings:
This section describes the softkey parameters that can be configured on the 480i phone. There
are twenty softkeys that can be configured. These parameters can be configured either from the
aastra.cfg or the <mac>.cfg file, depending upon whether you wish the settings to be server wide
(aastra.cfg) or phone-specific (<mac>.cfg).
Softkeys can be configured as
additional call/line appearances, speed dials
,
dnd,
empty
or
flash
. Each soft key has three mandatory parameters:
type
,
label
, and
value
. There is also an
optional
states
parameter, which lets you specify what phone states you would like the softkey to
appear in (one or more of: idle, connected, incoming, outgoing). If left undefined, the softkey
will appear in the idle state only.
