Edit Phone Settings
| Settings for Top Section of the Phone Setting |
Many phone models have multiple areas where you can set keys. The TOP section typically refers to the keys around the LCD screen, or Soft keys. |
| Settings for Bottom Section of the Phone Setting | Many phone models have multiple areas where you can set keys. The BOTTOM section typically refers to the Programmable keys. See Appendix 1 for details on key types. |
| Type | Key type determines what function a key performs. A dropdown list shows which key types are available to the phone model you are working with. |
| Label | This is the label associated with this key. If configured for a key around the LCD screen, this is what will display. |
| Value | The value completes a key’s function. It may contain a number to dial special codes or allow you to select an extension from a dropdown list. Most key types do not require you to enter a value. For example, the Voicemail key does not require a value because the System Administrator determines it for the end user. |
| Key State | Only necessary when configuring Soft Keys around the LCD screen. When checked, the key in question will display when the phone is in the states defined:
ConnectedA call is connected OutgoingA call is being placed from the extension IncomingA call is ringing the extension |

| Microphone Mute |
Default N; The IP550 phone will answer a page call and automatically engage Mute when this option is selected. |
| Auto-Answer Incoming Intercom |
Default Y; If enabled, this will automatically answer incoming pages via speakerphone. If the user is on a call, the page will ring the extension instead. |
| Warn on Incoming Intercom |
Default Y; If enabled the phone will play a tone alerting the user that their phone has answered a page with the speakerphone. |
| Call Waiting Tone |
Default Y; If enabled the phone will play a tone while the extension is busy on a call alerting the user that another call is waiting. |
| Stutter Tone |
Default N; Stutter Dial Tone is provided to alert a user that messages are waiting. It is presented to the user at the time the handset is taken off-hook or speakerphone button pressed from an idle state. |
| Handset Gain Level |
Default 10; Gain can be loosely defined as volume. This setting allows the programmer to adjust the gain to the user’s handset. DREW what is the range? |
| Headset Gain Level |
Default 10; Gain can be loosely defined as volume. This setting allows the programmer to adjust the gain to the user’s headset. DREW what is the range? |
| Digit Timeout |
Default 4; This is a counter that determines how long the telephone will wait between digits dialed before sending digits dialed by the user to the PBX. The shorter the time the faster the call will be placed, BUT short times mean that a user has to enter all digits without delaying more than this time period or the call will be routed with fewer than required digits and may not route properly. |
| Backlight |
Default N; This is the backlight of the LCD display. Setting this option to yes will force the LCD backlight to remain ON at all times. |
| Backlight Time |
Default 10; When the Backlight option above is set to “N” (default) this timer determines how long the backlight will remain ON following the last activity. |
| Display Call Waiting |
Default Y; The IP550 has the ability to display cal waiting information on the display of a busy extension. If this is desired set this to Yes. |
| Display Missed Calls |
Default Y; The IP550 telephone has the ability to display the number of calls that rang but were not answered. If desired, select Yes. |
| Disable Phone Forwarding |
Default N; This option is provided to disable telephone (phone-based) Call Forward. This is often desired since the user may invoke a mode of Call Forwarding not desired and conflicting with call forward conditions implemented in PBX programming.
This is also beneficial in hospitality applications when a telephone is installed in a location where the user should not be given the ability to use cal forward. |
| Display Softkey Dots |
Default N; The IP550 has been enhanced to provide an alignment “Dot” at the edge of the display for each of the Softkey function prompts. For users that find it difficult to associate Softkey prompts to Softkeys, enable this option. |
