These are the function key index (fkey idx) ranges on ET685 phones with USB
ports for all ET6 expansion modules:


context string assigns the function key to a SIP Identity (1 to 12) registered on the

phone. "Active" assigns the current active identity to that function key.
label string defines the short label to be used to describe the fkey.

lp string defines if long press of the fkey on the phone can be used to display the

fkey's configuration menu. Default value is "on". NOTE: Value must be set to "off"
for the functions Push2Talk (p2t) and Line Info Layer. When setting a value that is
not the default value for this setting you have to also add clp="1".
default_text string defines what to show as decription for a key that has neither its

fkey_label setting set nor an XML-description that provides a label.
This attribute is optional and applicable only to self-labeling keys. It has no effect

label_default_text remains unchanged.
You may define any arbitrary fixed text, but note that there are three key words that
allow to insert dynamic information related to the key:
