Features in Release 2.2
68 RN-001029-00, Rev 06, Release 2.2
IP Phone Release Notes 2.2
Simplified Transfer Using BLF and Speeddial Keys
In Release 2.2, a transfer (Xfer) enhancement has been added to the original
functionality of the BLF and Speeddial keys - BLF/Xfer and Speeddial/Xfer.
Prior to this release, the IP Phones supported BLF, Xfer, and Speeddial softkeys
and programmable keys. The BLF key allows one or more extensions to be
monitored, and once there is any state change with those extensions, the key
shows the status of the monitored lines. The Xfer key allows a call to be
transferred to other recipients blindly or consultatively. The Speeddial key allows
a number to be dialed quickly by pressing one key configured for speeddialing.
After answering a call, the recipient can transfer the call to an extension by:
1. Pressing Xfer key
2. Entering the number of the extension or pressing speeddial or BLF key.
3. Pressing Xfer key again
Release 2.2 introduces a simpler way of transferring calls using the keys called
BLF/Xfer and Speeddial/Xfer. The BLF/Xfer key combines the BLF and Xfer
key's functionality together allowing the user to transfer calls or use BLF with one
key. Similarly, the Speeddial/Xfer key combines the Speeddial key and Xfer
key's functionality together allowing the user to press one key to speeddial and
transfer calls.
Note: It is recommended that you enable the “switch focus to
ringing” parameter when using the BLF and Speeddial transfer key
feature. For more information about this parameter, see “Ability to
Disable Switching Focus to a Ringing Line When on a Call” on
page 74.
