Entering Text; Using The Dialpad - Avaya 1120E User Manual

Entering text

You can use the following methods to enter and edit text on your IP Deskphone:
• Entering text using the IP Deskphone dialpad
• Entering text using the USB keyboard

Using the dialpad

You use can use combinations of the letters and numbers on the dialpad of your IP Deskphone
to, for example, spell names or words in Instant Messages (IMs), enter SIP addresses, create
Address Book entries, and to designate feature key labels.
To make a call, you can dial an alphanumeric SIP address (for example, jdoe2@domain.com)
or you can dial a Directory Number (DN), depending on the local system configuration.
Note:
Some service providers support only the use of a Directory Number (DN) such as 555-5555
to initiate a call to another IP Deskphone. Contact your system administrator or service
provider to determine if alphanumeric dialing is supported. Alphanumeric dialing consists of
string of text that contain letters and numbers that make up, for example, a SIP address.
Entering text using the IP Deskphone dialpad
For applications that offer text input, when you use the dialpad to enter text the system activates
the abc/123 context-sensitive soft key.
You can toggle between numeric and alphabetic input as follows:
• When the soft key label is abc, you can enter alphabetic text.
• When the soft key label is 123, you can enter numbers.
For example, if you want to enter the lower case letter a, press the abc/123 soft key to toggle
to alphabetic input. Then press the number 2 key once. If you want to enter the upper case
letter C, press the number 2 key six times. You can cycle through the letters (and the numeral)
by pressing the number button repeatedly.
To create names or words that contain two adjacent letters that appear on the same button,
for example, the word prime, you can do the following:
1. To enter the first character, press the dialpad key 6.
2. Pause briefly.
3. To enter the next letter, press the dialpad key 6 twice to cycle to the letter r.
