Button Programming/Digital Telephony

If the system locale for Manager is set to enu, then the tab is labeled as Button Programming. If the system locale is set to eng, then the tab is labeled as Digital Telephony. Regardless of the label,the feature has the same functionality.

This tab is currently used to assign functions to the DSS keys of DS and IP telephones. See Installing and Configuring DS Ports

• Note: Though set through this tab, short codes of the form *DSS1 appear in the User's Short Codes tab. Any changes to those short codes are ignored and overwritten by the contents of the Button Programming tab.

The following settings are available within the Button Programming/Digital Telephony tab:

• Button:
  The number of the DSS key against which the function is being set. See Button Numbering Layout. To set a function against a button/key, click the corresponding Action box and select from the drop down list.  

• Menu1 to Menu12 can be used to override the default display softkey features accessed by pressing Menu on suitable telephones.

• Action:
  Defines the action taken by the buttons once they are programmed. Provides the following:

• Dial:
  This is effectively an Abbreviated Dial. The only difference is that the LED illuminates for the duration of the call, giving the User some feedback as to what was pressed. The dial string administered for this button may be a partial dial string.

• Group:
  Monitor the status of a Hunt-group queue. Flashes Green if a call is incoming to the group, flashes Red if the queue is backing up. Press to show call information, press again to pickup call. Put the name of the group, surrounded by quotes, in the Telephone Number field. This feature only works for groups with queuing enabled.

• Park:
  Monitor a park slot. Monitor a park slot. The green LED is lit if the park slot is occupied by a call parked by the station with the programmed PARK BLF button. The red LED is lit if the park slot is occupied by a call parked by another station. If you are the user who parked the call, or have a 4406D+ or 4606D+ station, pressing this button reconnects you to the call. If another party parked the call and you do not have a 4406D+ or 4606D+ station type, pressing this button once provides call information and a menu, and pressing the button a second time connects you to the call. Selecting Answr from this menu will also pickup the call.

• User:
  Monitor a user. This is a Busy-Lamp-Field. Put the name of the person, surrounded by quotes, in the Telephone Number field. Note: When the other party is busy on a call, DSS Status (on the System | System tab) control whether you see details of the user's call.

• Emulation:
  See Emulation Functions .

• Advanced:
  These are short code features that can be assigned to DSS keys. For details of the individual functions, see Short Code Features. TransTalk 9040 MDW sets must access these features through normal dialed short codes.

• Appearance:
  Defines Key & Lamp functions. See Appearance Functions for more information. 

• Telephone Number
