Flexible Buttons
The flexible buttons access lines and features based on the IP Phone configuration. Flexible
buttons assigned for line access, which are called line buttons, represent a telephone line or a
SIP user. A line may be private; calls to a private line signal at all appearances of the line but
an active or held call is only visible and accessible by the original end-point. A shared line, also
known as a BLA (Bridged Line Appearance), may appear at multiple phones and all calls are
visible and accessible by all end-points with the line. Each line button employs LEDs to indicate
status as shown below.
* When the LCD displays information for a line, such as when an incoming call first rings, the
LED color is orange otherwise, the LED color will be green.
A DSS (Direct Station Selection) line provides enhanced call coverage operation and is
assigned as a separate line or as a Broadsoft BLF (Busy Lamp Field), which condenses SIP
notify traffic to a URL. The IP Phone employs the URL to receive status for all DSS lines
simultaneously. A DSS line incorporates three functions associated with the needs of an
answering position:
- DSS - while the line is idle, the button calls the associated extension.
- BLF - the button LEDs of the line display the line or extension status.
- Call Coverage - incoming calls on the line are answered using the button.
Flexible buttons not assigned for line access may access features such as Speed dial, DND,
Redial and others. Refer to "Flexible Button Setting" on page
1-4
for instructions on defining
flexible buttons.
