Feature Programming Requirements

LinkPlus Interface Guide: Avaya DEFINITY Communications System

When lines are programmed as shown on the key-map diagrams, the numeral icons on the handset display will be mapped to any deskset LEDs associated with the corresponding feature keys. The line icons will be displayed as follows:

Line State		Handset
		Line Status Icon State

On-hook	Off
Off-hook		On
Ringing	Fast flash

On hold	Slow flash

When planning the interface, the following information must be taken into account:

Line sequences

The handset uses two types of key sequences to access PBX features and multiple lines. Line sequences are those where the user presses the LINE key and then a number key. The key-map design designates “line” keys that should be programmed for line appearance so that they correspond to line sequences on the handset.

The line icon on the handset will reflect activity on the corresponding deskset key. For this reason, it is recommended that line appearance keys be used only for line access. If only one line is assigned to a particular handset, leave the other designated line keys identified on the key maps unassigned. The corresponding handset LINE + key sequences will then have no function.

Function sequences

Function sequences are those where the handset user presses the FCN key and then a number key. Designated “function” deskset keys programmed to system features such as Transfer and Conference may have their corresponding menu items display on the handset function menu. See the key-map diagram for the function keys that are available for feature programming.
