Operational Features

Enabling/Disabling a Beep for Status Message Displays

You can enable or disable a BEEP option using the Status Message object (AastraIPPhoneStatus), the configuration files, or the Aastra Web UI.

Note:

For enabling/disabling a status message beep using the Status Message object, see the Aastra XML Developer’s Guide.

When the phone receives a status message, the BEEP notifies the user that the message is displaying.

You can use the following to enable/disable a status message beep:

•AastraIPPhoneStatus object (via XML object; see the Aastra XML Developer’s Guide)

•xml beep notification (via configuration files)

•XML Beep Support (via the Aastra Web UI)

Enabling the beep is an indication to the phone to sound a beep when it receives an AastraIPPhoneStatus object. If you disable the beep, or no AastraIPPhoneStatus object appears in the status message, then the default behavior is no beep is heard when the object arrives to the phone.

The value set in the configuration files and Aastra Web UI override the attribute you specify for the AastraIPPhoneStatus object.

For example, if the AastraIPPhoneStatus object has the attribute of Beep=”yes”, and you uncheck (disable) the “XML Beep Support” in the Aastra Web UI, the phone does not beep when it receives an AastraIPPhoneStatus object.

Setting the BEEP option in the configuration files and the Aastra Web UI applies to the phone immediately.

Reference

For information about enabling/disabling the XML beep in the Aastra Web UI, see “XML Beep Support” on page 5-62.

Scroll Delay Option for Status Messages

The IP phones support a scroll delay option that allows you to set the time delay, in seconds, between the scrolling of each status message on the phone. The default time is 5 seconds for each message to display before scrolling to the next mes- sage. You can configure this option via the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.

You can use the following to set the scroll delay for status messages:

•xml status scroll delay (via the configuration files)

•Status Scroll Delay (seconds) (via the Aastra Web UI) Changes apply to the phone immediately.

For more information about configuring status scroll delay, see “Status Scroll Delay” on page 5-63.

XML Configuration Push from the Server

The IP phones provide an XML feature that allows you to make configuration changes to the phone that take affect imme- diately, without having to reboot the phone. This feature involves creating XML scripts that push the changed configura- tion parameter(s) from the server to the IP phones.

You can use the AastraIPPhoneConfiguration object in the XML scripts to change configuration parameters or configure new parameters. However, since the IP phone does not save new parameters created in XML scripts to the local.cfg file, when the phone reboots, it does not save the new parameters on the phone. In order for the phone to apply new configu- ration parameters, you have to enter the parameters via the user interfaces (Telephone User Interface, Web User Interface, or configuration files), or reapply the new parameters using the XML scripts after every boot.

Specific configuration parameters are dynamic on the phone when pushed from XML scripts on the server. See the Aastra XML Developer’s Guide for more information about XML configuration scripts and dynamic configuration parameters.
