Configurable Display Modes For Blf And Blf/List Softkey Labels - Aastra 6730i Administrator's Manual

Operational Features
BLF key will be shown in the key number order.
Notes:
• To minimize the chance of a lot of switching between the Idle screen and the page(s) with BLF keys, it is recom-
mended to have the BLF keys with most frequent traffic on one page. If the expansion module has several BLF keys,
it is recommended to use an extra display panel unit.
• The IP phones (as well as the M675i Expansion Module) will automatically switch to the idle page (or the first page on
the M675i Expansion Module) if no BLF activity is detected by the phone.
Configuring BLF Page Switch
Use the following procedures to configure the BLF page switch feature on the IP phone.
Configuration Files
To configure the BLF page switch on the IP phones using the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section,

Configurable Display Modes for BLF and BLF/List Softkey Labels

Note:
Applicable to the 9480i, 9480i CT, 6735i, 6737i, 6739i, 6755i, 6757i, 6757i CT, and 6867i IP Phones only.
The manner in which labels for BLF and BLF/List softkeys are displayed on the applicable IP phones (as well as the M675i
Expansion Module) can be configured by Administrators. By defining the "blf display label to max" parameter to either
"0" or "1" in the configuration files, Administrators can choose between two distinct display modes.
In the primary (default) display mode (i.e. "blf display label to max: 0"), when a label exceeds the maximum characters
the respective phone's screen can display, the phone adds an ellipsis (i.e. "... " ) at the end of the label indicating the label
has been automatically truncated. In the secondary display mode (i.e. "blf display label to max: 1"), the phone does not
automatically truncate the label and simply displays as many characters as the area reserved for the label allows.
The following images provide an example of how the label of a BLF or BLF/List softkey defined as "Robert Zimmerman
Jackson" would be displayed in the two modes for the respective phones.
