The Key System Emulation feature allows to:
•
Have a direct connection to the available PSTN lines and SIP networks behind the Quadro by pushing the programmable keys
on the IP phone.
•
Monitor the availability and status of all configured external lines via programmable keys on the IP Phones.
•
Place the call on hold from one IP phone and pick it from another IP phone attached on the Quadro.
How Key System Emulation works:
Depending on the model, the IP phone has a number of programmable keys available. Basically, all programmable keys should have an LED, which
can be switched ON, OFF or blinking. If an IP phone has a display, the programmable keys may also have an additional description (like what the
particular programmable key does or just a name) displayed on it.
On the Quadro, Shared Line Appearance (SLA) lines act as an intermediate link between the external PSTN lines or SIP servers on one end and the
programmable keys on the IP phones. The SLA lines should be first configured on the Quadro from the Key System Emulation page. Each SLA line
can correspond to one of the external PSTN lines or be a direct connection to a SIP server. Once configured, SLA lines can be assigned to the
programmable keys on the IP phones. For the incoming and outgoing calls to be handled, each programmable key will correspond to the particular
PSTN line or SIP network (server). The same PSTN line or SIP network can be configured on the different programmable keys for different IP
phones.
When the incoming call comes to an SLA line (from PSTN or SIP user), all IP phones that use the Key System Emulation are starting to ring and the
programmable key assigned to the corresponding SLA line is beginning to blink on all IP phones. To pick the incoming call push the blinking
programmable key on any of the ringing IP phones. The corresponding programmable key will stop blinking on all other IP phones, the IP phone
rings stop and the programmable keys go to the state ON indicating that the line is busy.
If a user of one IP phone holds an active call performed on the SLA line, the programmable key is starting to blink on all IP phones. The user who
has held the call can then inform the other IP phone to pick up the held call. To pick the held call, the user of the other IP phone should simply push
the blinking programmable key on his IP phone. Once the call is picked, the corresponding programmable key will show solid light (busy) on all other
IP phones.
To make an external call through the certain SLA line, the programmable key assigned to that SLA line should be in the idle state. The IP phone user
should then push the corresponding programmable key, depending on what line he needs to get, and wait for a dial tone. Once the dial tone is
heard, user can dial the number and the push the OK/Dial button on his IP phone. The call will be placed through the corresponding SLA line. During
the call, the programmable keys assigned to that SLA line on all other IP phones goes to the state ON indicating that the line is busy.
Please Note:
If the IP phone is configured through the Plug-and-Play option while connecting to the Quadro, the first few programmable keys on the
IP phone will be by default assigned to the first SLA lines on the Quadro in the consequent order.
The
Key System Emulation
page is used to configure and setup the Shared Line Appearance (SLA) lines on the Quadro. The available SLA lines
and their configuration parameters are listed in the table on this page.
The Quadro4Li product has 8 SLA lines.
