Operational Features

Conference/Transfer Support for Live Dial Mode

By default, when users are initiating a conference call or transfer, they will not hear a dial tone before dialing begins (pre- dial mode). The phone does not automatically dial out the number until the user presses the “Conf” or “Transfer” key. This allows the users to make changes to the dialing number before initiating the call. Administrators can now enable live dial mode by configuring the new “confxfer live dial” parameter. In live dial mode, when the user is completing a conference call or transfer, they will hear a dial tone before dialing begins. In addition, the phone will either match the number to the dial plan or wait for the set digit timeout.

In the default pre-dial mode, users are able to edit the destination number prior to dialing, whereas in live dial mode they are not able to, however the “Dial” and “Cancel” softkeys are provided while the user inputs the number.

Authentication Support for HTTP/HTTPS Download Methods, used with Broadsoft Client Management System (CMS)

The IP phones support HTTP/HTTPS digest authentication as defined in RFC 2617. (The HTTP client supports digest authentication; the HTTP server does not; the HTTP server supports basic authentication). This feature allows the phones to interoperate with Broadsoft’s CMS phone configuration tool.

Using the configuration files, you can enable/disable the following parameter to display a LOG IN softkey which allows the HTTP/HTTPS server to perform digest authentication:

•http digest force login - specifies whether or not to display the LOG IN softkey on the IP Phone UI screen. Valid values are 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled). Default is 0 (disabled).

If the “http digest force login” parameter is set to 1 (enabled), after the phone boots, the LOG IN softkey displays on the phone’s LCD. If the user presses this softkey, a username/password screen displays, allowing the user to enter the config- ured username and password that is sent to the HTTP/HTTPS server for digest authentication by the server. By default, username is “aastra” and password is “aastra”. You can enter the username and password in two ways:

•Using the configuration files, you can change the default values for the following parameters:

–http digest username - specifies the username to use for HTTP/HTTPS digest authentication.

–http digest password - specifies the password to use for HTTP/HTTPS digest authentication.

•By enabling the “http digest force login” parameter (setting to 1) - the phone displays the LOG IN key so the user can enter the default username/password via the IP Phone UI.
