Line Key - Aastra 9480i CT User Manual

Line Key

You can set a softkey to act as a line/call appearance key on the 9480i CT. This key acts as a line that behaves the same as a
hard line key (L1, L2, L3, and L4). For more information about the behavior of line keys, see
ances" on page 42.
If you configure line keys for the softkeys, the status of the lines/call appearance keys appear on the phone's display as
shown in the following image.
Icons next to the softkeys on the phone's display indicate the status for that line or call. The following table provides a
description for each icon.

Depending on how the phone has been configured, the maximum number of total line/call appearances that can be con-
figured is 9 (4 line/call appearance hard keys plus 5 softkeys). If all line/call appearances have been set up between two dif-
ferent numbers, a total of 8 lines can be configured.
This means that when all line/call appearances are in use, 1 call is connected while the rest are on hold. No further outgo-
ing or incoming calls can be made until one of the line/call appearances becomes available.
In active states, such as ringing, conference, connected, etc., all softkeys disappear except softkeys that have been set up
as line/call appearances, and any context dependent softkeys required for the active state, such as the Drop softkey in the
connected state. Typically, context dependent softkeys appear in the top left position and all line/call appearance softkeys
appear in the remaining positions.
Note:
In some situations, such as during a conference call, the line/call appearance softkeys may overwrite some of the con-
text dependent softkeys. In this case, instead of the Previous and Next softkeys, up or down icons,
