Square Key Ipitomy

Square Key on an Ipitomy System

Infrequently Ipitomy is asked is there a way to Square Key an Ipitomy or to basically allow there to be Line Appearances on a phone. While there is not a way to actually map a line to a key on a phone this solution does give the required result.

In this example you would be using 4 Extensions per Line Appearance and 4 Groups also. You would need to make an Extension for each Line Key on a phone. Additionally you would need to use the manual method for programming the phones in question. As you would need to turn off Auto Download Config in the phone and then manually enter the extension programming for each Line Key. So if you had for instance 4 lines, you would need to program these four extension under each of those line Keys. Then you would create four correspnding groups. You would direct ringing on these groups from the Line or DID in question. In each group there would be one of the four extensions. The call would progress as follows.

Ringing on Line 1 => sent to Ring group for line one => sent to extension for Line one

This achieves the result of having a Line appearance which could be programmed on as many phones as you like. The only downside is the manual programming of the phones, and the additional Extension licenses required.
