Administering features on softkeys

You can administer call server features on softkeys on the deskphhone. The number of features
you can place on a set of softkeys depends on the call state the deskphone is presenting to the
user.
The chart below lists the call states for which you can administer softkeys, the relevant system
parameter associated with a call state, the maximum number of features you can specify in that
system parameter, and the softkey numbers that can take administered features.

Administration of softkeys works as follows:
• Administer feature buttons for the deskphone on the call server as you normally would, and
the call server sends these button assignments to the deskphone as it always has.
• In the 46xxsettings file, administer any or all of the system parameters indicated in the chart
above. Each parameter consists of a list of one or more feature numbers, up to the maximum
indicated in that chart, with each feature number corresponding to a specific administrable
feature.
• The deskphone compares the list of features administered on the call server with the list of
features in the system parameters administered. If a given feature occurs both in call server
administration and in a given system parameter, that feature is displayed on a phone
application softkey when the highlighted call appearance is in the associated call state. The
deskphone displays the feature buttons starting with Softkey 1 and continuing to the right in
