Aastra Telecom 41-001343-02 Options Key Redirection, XML Applications and Off-Hook Interaction

Operational Features

Configuring XML Redirection of the Redial, Xfer, Conf, and Icom Keys, and the Voicemail Option

Use the following procedure to configure XML redirection of the Redial, Xfer, Conf, and Icom keys, and the Voicemail option.

Configuration Files

For the specific parameters you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section, “XML Key Redirection Settings (for Redial, Xfer, Conf, Icom, Voicemail)” on page A-207.

Options Key Redirection

The IP phones allow the redirecting of the Options Key to an XML script. This allows the server to provide the phone with available options, rather then accessing them from the phone-side. You access the Options Key XML script by pressing the Options Key. You can still access the Options Menu from the phone-side by pressing and holding the Options key to dis- play the phone-side Options Menu.

The following URI configuration parameter controls the redirection of the Options Key:

•options script

Notes:

•If no Options URI script is configured, the local Options Menu on the phone displays as normal.

•If you configure password access to the Options Menu, this password is required when accessing the local Option Menu, but is not required for the Options Key redirection feature.

•Pressing the Options Menu for redirection from the server does not interfere with normal operations of the phone (for example, pressing the options menu when on a call does not affect the call).

•If the phone is locked, you must unlock the phone before accessing the Options Menu redirect feature. After pressing the Options Key, the phone displays a screen that allows you to unlock the phone before continuing.

An Administrator can configure the XML Options Key, redirection URI parameter using the configuration files only.

For the specific parameter you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section, “Options Key Redirection Setting” on page A-209.

XML Applications and Off-Hook Interaction

A feature on the IP phone allows you to specify whether the phone is prevented from going into the off-hook/dialing state when the handset is off-hook and the call ends.

By default, the phone behaves as follows:

You are in a call using the handset and the phone displays an XML application. The far-end terminates the call, and a new XML application gets pushed/pulled onto the display. Since the handset is off-hook and in idle mode, the "offhook idle timer" starts. When this timer expires, the phone applies dial tone and moves to the off-hook/dialing state, which then destroys the XML application that was being displayed.

With the “off-hook interaction” feature you can set an “auto offhook” parameter that determines whether or not the phone is prevented from entering the off-hook/dialing state, if the handset is off-hook and the call ends.

An Administrator can enable (allow phone to enter the off-hook dialing state) or disable (prevent the phone from entering the off-hook dialing state) using the “auto offhook” parameter in the configuration files only.
