Phone Customization
271
With EDK, You can do the following:
l
Assign a frequently-used function to DSS keys.
l
Create menu shortcuts for frequently-used phone settings as need.
l
Use EDK macro strings as the contact number.
Application scenarios involve the following:
l
Adding new DSS keys to simplify the operation of common telephony tasks that may need more than one
keypress with the default configuration.
l
Removing certain default DSS keys for the functions that may be redundant or never used.
l
One-touch connecting to the contact's extension number without entering DTMF manually.
The rules for configuring EDK for DSS keys are different. Before using EDK, you are advised to become familiar
with the macro language.

Guidelines for Configuring Enhanced DSS Keys
The following guidelines will help you to configure EDK efficiently:
l
Activation of EDK functions requires valid macro construction.
l
Character “$” delimits the parts of the macro string (except the digits only) and it must exist in pairs. For more
information, refer to
.
l
Macros can be invoked in the format “!<macro name>”, where <macro name > is defined by the parameter
“edk.edklist.X.mname”.
l
If there are two or more same macros, the soft key or DSS key will invoke the macro with the smallest value of X
defined by the parameter “edk.edklist.X.mname”.
Macro Action Strings
Before using EDK, you must be familiar with macro language shown in this section.
The following table shows the basic macro action string syntax when creating EDK macros:
Macro Action
Description
Digits
The characters to be sent. The following characters are supported: . @ * # + 0-
9 and English letters. The appearance of this parameter depends on the
action string.
Example: *981135.
$C<command > $
This is the command. It can appear anywhere in the action string. Supported
commands (or shortcuts) include:
l
hang up (hu)
l
hold (h)
l
waitconnect (wc)
l
pause <number of seconds> (p <num sec>) where the maximum value is
10
