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, 6869i, and 6873i 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.
