Considerations

The following considerations must be taken into account when using this feature:

When a BLF softkey’s ring splash parameter is dynamically changed , the change will not take effect until the BLF tar- get becomes idle.

The playing of a ring splash will be postponed if it is not allowed to be played in the current state and will start playing if the phone transitions to a state where the ring splash can be played. However, if the BLF target stops ringing before the transition, the ring splash will not be played.

The playing of a delayed ring splash will be postponed until the delay expires. However, if the BLF target stops ringing before the delay expires, the ring splash will not be played.

In scenarios where the BLF target goes into the ringing state while an initial in-call ring splash is playing or while a call hold or call waiting reminder is playing, the secondary in-call ring splash will be played 500ms after the current event has ended. The inverse is also true whereby call hold or call waiting reminders will be played 500ms after the BLF ring splash, if they occur while a BLF ring splash is playing.

In scenarios where multiple keys are configured for periodic ring splashes and multiple BLF targets are ringing, only one periodic ring splash for one target will be played.

While on an active call, if the “ring audibly enable” parameter is enabled and a call is incoming while a periodic ring splash is playing, the periodic ring splash will stop allowing the incoming call’s ring tone to be played, and then resume after the incoming call’s ring tone has ended.

Configuring Ring Splash Settings

Use the following parameters to configure the ring splashsettings:

Configuration Files

To set the ring splash on a per key basis in the configuration files for BLF, see Appendix A, the sections “Ring Splash Settings” on page A-193.

Ring Signal Type for BLF/List

Administrators can also control whether or not a ring tone is played when there is an incoming call on a BLF/List-moni- tored extension. Each BLF/List-monitored extension can be individually configured to play one of five different ring tones (or to play none at all).

After configuring the BLF/List URI and BLF/List keys, you can enable ring tone playback on the BLF/List-monitored exten- sions by defining the existing “play a ring splash” parameter as “1” in the respective configuration file.

Note:

The “play a ring splash” parameter is not dynamic. Changes to this parameter will take effect only after the phone has been rebooted.

Additionally, the following “ring splash” parameters can be used to control which specific ring tone is played (depend- ing on the type of key for which BLF/List functionality is configured):

softkeyN ring splash

prgkeyN ring splash

topsoftkeyN ring splash

expmodX keyN ring splash
