Configuring Aastra IP Phone Accounts
Using the Default Softkeys Menu (User Phone)
Softkeys function exactly like the hard keys on your phone, except they are
programmable. When you press a softkey on your IP phone, an action takes place.
For example, when you press the DND softkey, you enable Do Not Disturb on
your phone.
As administrator, you have the option to change the default softkey settings for
configurable softkeys for each User’s phone. (those that have been assigned a
softkey type, or are empty). You can also determine which softkeys appear in the
softkey list and available to the User. That is, you can use the AastraLink Web UI
to:
• Add new softkeys
• Delete softkeys
• Edit a softkey so it performs a different function (for example, change a Park
Call softkey to a Speeddial softkey).
• Customize a User’s softkey option list
Default softkey accounts that the administrator defines are applied only to the
model phone you are configuring.
The Default Softkeys menu lists all Aastra phone’s models that may be connected
to your AastraLink network, and the default softkeys currently configured for
each phone model. If you click on the tab for a specific phone, the menu changes
to show the current softkey configuration for that model phone.
For some model phones, certain softkeys are reserved and cannot be edited. For
example, on the Aastra IP Phone Model 9143i, the first four softkeys are
pre-programmed as follows: Options, Directory, Save, Delete. These softkeys
cannot be edited or deleted by the administrator, or by the user.
Default softkey accounts that the administrator defines are applied to any new
Aastra IP phones of that particular model that you add to your network. That is,
when you initially start up and register an IP phone with the AastraLink Pro 160,
the default softkeys you specify from this menu are programmed automatically on
the IP phone. Later, users have the option to change the default settings, add
additional softkeys or delete softkeys from their own IP phones.
