Feature Re-Branding Support For Broadsoft-Based Service Providers - Mitel 6863i Release Notes

FEATURE RE-BRANDING SUPPORT FOR BROADSOFT-BASED SERVICE
PROVIDERS
The 6800 series SIP phones support the configuration of a number of BroadSoft features
through the native phone UI as well as the phone's Web UI. References to these features in
the respective UI may contain the strings "BroadSoft", "BSFT", or "BroadWorks" (e.g.
"BroadSoft SCA", "BSFT Call Settings", or "BroadWorks Anywhere"). Starting with Release
4.2.0 SP1, service providers are now able to replace these BroadSoft-related strings in the UI
with their own custom branding names.
BroadSoft-related references on the phone can be categorized into three types:
• References using a full service provider name:
• Used on the SIP phones when referencing a feature or option that encompasses the
full service provider's name.
• The default string that is replaced when this value is defined is "BroadSoft".
• For example, "BroadSoft Call Settings" on the 6867i, 6869i, and 6873i SIP phones as
well as "BroadSoft SCA" and "BroadSoft Xsi" on all the 6800 series SIP phones.
• References using a short service provider name:
• Used on the SIP phones when referencing a feature or option that encompasses a
shortened version of the service provider's name.
• The default string that is replaced when this value is defined is "BSFT".
• For example, "BSFT Call Settings" on the 6863i and 6865i (as opposed to "BroadSoft
Call Settings" on the 6867i, 6869i, and 6873i).
• References using a platform name:
• Used on the SIP phones when referencing a feature or option that encompasses the
name of the service provider's platform.
• The default string that is replaced when this value is defined is "BroadWorks".
• For example, "BroadWorks Anywhere" on the 6867i, 6869i, and 6873i SIP phones.
Service providers can re-brand these feature UI strings by defining the "broadsoft branding"
parameter in the desired configuration file. The syntax of the parameter is as follows:
broadsoft branding: "<full name>;<short name>;<platform name>"
whereby the full, short, and platform name values are delimited by a semi-colon.
Note: To ensure the applicable UI strings are not truncated on the 6863i and 6865i, it
is recommended to limit the character length of the short name value to four when the
screen language is configured as English. Maximum character lengths may vary when
a different screen language is configured.
