Configuring the Filter Softkey on the Assistant's Phone Using the Configuration Files
To configure the Filter softkeys on the Assistant's phone using the configuration files, you must
enter "filter" for the key types. For the labels (6867i and 6869i only), enter key labels to assign
to the Filter key (e.g. "Filter-Stefan" for a specific Executive or simply "Filter" for a generic Filter
key with no defined value). Defining the value is optional. If you choose to assign a Filter softkey
and define values for each Executive, enter in the respective Executive's phone or extension
number (e.g. 4100). For the line setting, enter the line number for which you want to use the
key functionality. If you prefer to utilize a single Filter softkey without a defined value you will
be able to manually activate and deactivate Executive Call Filtering for each Executive to whom
the Assistant is assigned through the phone's UI.
The following parameters are examples you can use to configure multiple Filter softkeys
corresponding to multiple Executives on the Assistant's phone:
