The phone supports an optional automatic off-hook call placement feature for
each registration.
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:
Specify which registrations have the feature and what contact to call
when going off hook.
• For more information, refer to
<autoOffHook/>
The purpose of hold is to pause activity on one call so that the user may use
the phone for another task, such as to make or receive another call. Network
signaling is employed to request that the remote party stop sending media and
to inform them that they are being held. A configurable local hold reminder
feature can be used to remind the user that they have placed calls on hold.
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:
Specify whether RFC 2543 (c=0.0.0.0) or RFC 3264 (a=sendonly or
a=inactive) outgoing hold signaling is used.
• For more information, refer to
Specify local hold reminder options.
• For more information, refer to
<hold/><localReminder/>
Specify whether or not to use RFC 2543 (c=0.0.0.0) outgoing hold
signaling. The alternative is RFC 3264 (a=sendonly or a=inactive).
Navigate to: http://<phoneIPAddress>/appConf.htm#ls
Changes are saved to local flash and backed up to <Ethernet
address>-phone.cfg on the boot server. Changes will permanently
override global settings unless deleted through the Reset Local
Config menu selection and the <Ethernet address>-phone.cfg is
removed from the boot server.
Use the SIP Configuration menu to specify whether or not to use RFC
2543 (c=0.0.0.0) outgoing hold signaling. The alternative is RFC 3264
(a=sendonly or a=inactive).
