Line Keys, Programmable Keys, and Softkeys
41-001451-00 REV00 – 07.2011 60
In active states, such as ringing, conference, connected, etc., all softkeys disappear except softkeys that have been set up
as line/call appearances, and any context dependent softkeys required for the active state, such as the Drop softkey in the
connected state. Typically, context dependent softkeys appear in the top left position and all line/call appearance softkeys
appear in the remaining positions.
You use the Aastra Web UI to set a programmable key or softkey as a line.
Configuring a Line Key
You can set a key as an additional line on the 6735i. The key acts as a line that behaves the same as a hard line key. For
more information about the behavior of line keys, see “Multiple Line and Call Appearances” on page53.
You use the Aastra Web UI to set a key as a line.
Use the following procedure to set a key to function as a line. The procedure shows the softkey screens as an example.
Note:
In some situations, such as during a conference call, the line/call appearance softkeys may overwrite some of the con-
text dependent softkeys. In this case, instead of the Previous and Next softkey s, up or d own i cons , 5 and 2 appear on
the display. By using the 5 and 2 navigation keys, you can access the same functionality as the Previous and Next
softkeys.
