Administering Applications and Options
114 Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Administrator Guide
The 1600 Series IP Telephones offer the user numerous applications like Contacts, Call Log,
Redial, and so on. Each of these applications allows the user to add, delete, or in some cases,
edit entries. You, as the administrator, might not want the user to have that level of functionality.
For example, a hotel lobby telephone probably should not allow a user to delete the concierge’s
contact number. Further, for privacy reasons, that same telephone should not allow a Call Log
display. You can use the Application Status Flag, APPSTAT, to administer specific application
functionality permission levels for one or more telephones.
APPSTAT consists of one number, specifying a certain level of allowed functionality. A Zero (“0”)
value is the most limiting setting. Values “2” and “3” allow increasing levels of functionality, and
“1” allows the user complete application functionality.
In Tabl e 18, “suppressed” applications are not displayed to the user. Softkey labels, application
tabs, and so on are not labeled or displayed. Options associated with suppressed applications
can continue to display unless you override them by appropriate OPSTAT parameter
administration. Displayed options have no effect while the application is suppressed.
In Tabl e 18, “Contact changes are not allowed” means the Contact application displays and the
user can make calls as normal. Any controls that allow the user to change any aspect of the
Contact application do not display. This restriction includes the ability to add, delete, or edit any
Contact name or number.
In Table18, “Only one-number Redial is allowed” means the user Option that allows a choice
between displaying last numbers dialed is suppressed. The Redial buffer stores only one
number. The Redial application does not display since the user can redial only one number.
This restriction allows privacy once a given user has left the telephone.
You can:
●set APPSTAT to 1, for example, in a staging area,
●administer a given telephone with Contact entries of your choice, like the Concierge
telephone number button in the earlier example,
●then move the telephone to where it will be used, where you have administered APPSTAT
to be, for example, 0 (zero).
