Configurable Display Modes for BLF and BLF/List Softkey Labels
The manner in which labels for BLF and BLF/List softkeys are displayed on the 6735i,
6737i, and 6867i IP phones (as well as the M675i Expansion Module) can now be con-
figured by Administrators. By defining the “
blf display label to max
” parameter to
either “
0
” or “
1
” in the configuration files, Administrators can choose between two dis-
tinct display modes.
In the primary (default) display mode (i.e. “
blf display label to max: 0”
), when a label
exceeds the maximum characters the respective phone’s screen can display, the
phone adds an ellipsis (i.e. “...”) at the end of the label indicating the label has been
automatically truncated. In the secondary display mode (i.e. “
blf display label to
max: 1”
), the phone does not automatically truncate the label and simply displays as
many characters as the area reserved for the label allows.
The following images provide an example of how the label of a BLF or BLF/List softkey
defined as “Robert Zimmerman” would be displayed in the two modes for each
respective phone.
