480i IP Phone User Guide 13

Using the 480i

Phone

services. The phone performs an
HTTP GET on the URI created by
your system administrator.
You can set the following
parameters for object requests:
• xml application URI
• xml application title
The xml application URI is the
application you are loading into
the IP phone. You must get this
URI from your system
administrator.
The xml application title is the
name of the XML application that
displays on the Services menu in
the IP Phone UI (as option #4).

Softkeys as Customized Flash

Key

You can set a softkey to generate a
flash event when it is pressed on
the 480i. You do this by setting the
softkey to "flash". The IP phone
generates flash events only when a
call is connected and there is an
active RTP stream (for example,
when the call is not on hold).

Softkeys as Customized Park/

Pickup Keys

The IP phone has a park and
pickup call feature that allows you
to park a call and pickup a call
when required. There are two ways
a user can configure this feature:
• Using a static configuration
• Using a programmable

configuration (configure soft-

keys)

Note: The IP phone accepts both meth-

ods of configuration. However, to
avoid redundancy, Aastra Tele-
com recommends you configure
either a static configuration or a
programmable configuration.

The IP phones support the Park/
Pickup feature on the Asterisk,
BroadWorks, Sylantro, and ININ
PBX servers.

Reference
For more information about
configuring park/pickup on the
480i phone, see

"Park Calls/Pick

Up Parked Calls"

on

page 23.

Softkeys as Customized Empty

Key

You can set a softkey to force a
blank entry on the IP phone
display for a specific softkey. You
do this by setting the softkey to
"empty". The soft keys are added
in order (from softkey1 to
softkey20) after any hard-coded
keys have been added. If a
particular soft key is not defined, it
is ignored.

State-Based Softkeys

You can configure a specific state
to display when a softkey is being
used. Available states you can
configure for each softkey include:
• idle - The phone is not being

used.

• connected - The line currently

being displayed is in an active

call (or the call is on hold)

• incoming - The phone is ringing.
• outgoing - The user is dialing a

number, or the far-end is ring-

ing.

By default, the softkeys display in

the states of idle, connected,

incoming, and outgoing. All states

are enabled.
In the Aastra Web UI, the

operational states for each softkey

display enabled. To disable a state,

you uncheck the box for that

operational state.
