Operational IP Phone Features

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 message. 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.

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 immediately, without having to reboot the phone. This feature involves creating XML scripts that push the changed configuration 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 configuration 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 Appendix G, “Creating an XML Application” for more information about XML configuration scripts and dynamic configuration parameters.

For more information about creating XML configuration scripts and for XML script examples, see Appendix G, “Creating an XML Application”.
