Installing the 1230 IP Deskphone
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
If an application offers text input and you use the dialpad to enter text, the system activates
the abc/123 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.
Figure 11: Context-sensitive soft key abc/123
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 press, 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.
When entering alphanumeric information, the 1 key on the dialpad represents the characters
in the table below. To enter a special character, press the dialpad number 1 to cycle through
the characters until you reach the one you need. For example, to enter a question mark (?),
press the number 1 key eight times.
