Blf In-Call Ring Splash Support - Aastra 6735i Release Notes

Additional Information

BLF In-Call Ring Splash Support

Previously, ring splashes indicating incoming calls for BLF-monitored extensions
would only be played (when configured) if the user's phone was in an idle state. With
Release 3.3.1 SP4, Administrators can now configure the 6735i, 6737i, 6865i, and 6867i
IP phones to play a ring splash even when the user's phone is in an active call state.
The following parameters can be used to enable this feature:
Parameter
play a ring splash
prgkeyN ring splash
softkeyN ring splash
topsoftkeyN ring splash
expmodX keyN ring splash
hardkeyN ring splash
(where N corresponds to
the key's number and X
corresponds to the
expansion module's
number)

Description
Enables or disables the playing of a short ring splash when there is an incom-
ing call on a BLF-monitored extension.
Parameter values are as follows:
• 0: Disables the feature.
• 1: Enables the feature when the phone is in an idle state.
• 2: Enables the feature when the phone is in either an idle or active call state.
Notes:
• This global parameter is not dynamic. Changes to this parameter will take
effect only after the phone has been rebooted.
• Playing a BLF ring splash while in an active call state (i.e. defining the param-
eter as "2") is only available to the 6735i, 6737i, 6865i, and 6867i IP phones.
When a key is configured for BLF functionality, this parameter controls the
ring splash alert pattern per key. The following alerting patterns are available:
• 0: Silence (ring splash off ).
• 1: Normal (same as current BLF ring splash).
• 2: Normal delayed (After a delay of [x] seconds, the ring signal that is the
same as the current BLF ring splash is played [use the "ring splash delay"
parameter to define the delay]).
• 3: Periodic (similar to the normal ring signal that is used by the phone
itself. The actual ring melody is based on the current melody set for the
line to which the BLF key is associated [use the "ring splash frequency"
parameter to define the frequency interval).
• 4: Periodic delayed (same as Periodic but after a delay of [x] seconds, the
ring signal that is used by the phone is played [use the "ring splash fre-
quency" parameter to define the frequency interval and the "ring
splash delay" parameter to define the delay]).
• 5: Low volume (same as the current BLF ring splash but at a lower level to
be less intrusive).
• 6: Low volume delayed (after a delay of [x] seconds, the ring signal that is
the same as the current BLF ring splash is played at a lower level [use the
"ring splash delay" parameter to define the delay]).
• 7: The behavior is determined by the global parameter "play a ring splash".
– If "play a ring splash" is defined as 0 then the feature is disabled.
– If "play a ring splash" is defined as 1 then the behavior is the same as
Normal.
– If "play a ring splash" is defined as 2 then the behavior is the same as
Normal but the ring splash plays when idle and also during the active
call state.
• 8: In call delayed (same as Normal delayed but ring splash plays when idle
and also during the active call state [use the "ring splash delay" param-
eter to define the delay]).
