unction keys on Snom phones
Every phone has a limited number of hard keys. Phone users, however, have a myriad of
different priorities and preferences when asked which functions they use most often and which
functionalities they would like to access quickly. Snom has therefore designed the function keys to be
programmable, even the preprogrammed "hard keys" whose default function is printed on the casing.
There are four types of programmable function keys (see also "At a glance" on page 18):
•
Freely programmable function keys with LEDs (P1 - P5) and on any connected expansion modules.
All available functionalities, including key events, can be programmed onto them.
◦
Context
This setting specifies which configured identity will be used when executing the functionality
of the key. You may want to use this feature when you have accounts with different providers
or when you wish to present different identities to certain destinations.
For example: If you have programmed key P2 to speed dial a specific number and you want to
use configured identity 2 to call that number, select configured identity 2 from the drop-down
menu of P2's "Context". When you speed dial the number by pressing key P2, identity 2 will be
used as the outgoing identity.
The default setting is "Active", which means that the identity selected as the phone's outgoing
identity at any given time will be used.
◦
Type
Select the type of functionality from the drop-down list. See "Appendix 4 - Programmable
Functions" on page 90 for more information. If you select "Key Event", a drop-down list with
the available key events will replace the text field under "Number". The default setting is "line".
◦
Number
Enter one phone number or value for the function or, if the function is key event, select an
event from the drop-down list. Enter phone numbers exactly the way they need to be dialed,
i.e, type the number without spaces or punctuation marks between the digits. For example, a
number with an area code that might conventionally be notated as (916) 555-1234 should be
entered as 9165551234.
◦
Short Text
Optional: Enter a name or other descriptive text in the text field. If you are using a D3
expansion module, this is also the data displayed in the key label area on the expansion
module's display. If you leave the field blank, the number will be displayed in the key label
area.
•
Context-sensitive, programmable function keys. For the default settings , see "At a glance" on
page 18. You can select a different key event to be available on each respective key when the
phone is in idle mode.
You cannot change the functions that are available when the phone is active, for example when
you are in a call, when the phone is ringing, etc. Depending on the activity, different functions will
be available.
See "Appendix 1 - Display Symbols and Icons" on page 84 for the lists of symbols and their
description.
