Call States

As  a  call  progresses  from  beginning  to  end,  it  goes  through  a  number  of  defined  stages  known  as  Call  States.  The  

following  call  states  are  defined  for  calls  on  the  OBi:

There  are  many  operations  that  may  be  applied  to  a  call  -­‐  for  example,  holding,  resuming  or  ending  a  call  are  
commonly  used  operations.  The  options  to  manipulate  a  call  are  typically  presented  to  the  user  as  soft  key  options,  
while  the  most  frequently  used  call  operations  can  also  be  mapped  to  a  feature  key  -­‐  such  as  the  Hold  and  Transfer  
functions.    

 
Soft  key  options  are  call  state  sensitive,  only  the  options  that  are  applicable  to  the  call  at  its  current  state  are  shown  
and  as  the  call  transitions  from  one  state  to  another,  the  soft  key  options  on  the  screen  will  be  updated  accordingly.  
This  will  be  discussed  further  in  the  “Calls  App” section.  
 
As  detailed  in  the  section  titled  “Call  Keys”,  each  call  on  the  phone  must  be  assigned  to  a  call  key  and  each  call  key  
has  its  own  VLKW  on  the  screen  that  is  displayed  next  to  the  line  key.  To  help  the  user  identify  the  current  state  of  a  
call,  each  call  state  is  represented  by  a  distinct  icon  that  is  shown  in  the  respective  VLKW.  Furthermore,  the  LED  of  

each  call  key  stays  steady  or  blinks  with  a  certain  pattern,  indicating  the  current  call  state.  

Making Basic Calls

With the Handset

Lifting  the  handset  from  the  cradle  will  start  the  dial  tone  and  display  the  Dial  Dialog  on  the  screen.    The  following  
figure  shows  a  dial  dialog  ready  for  the  user  to  enter  a  number.
