Server Administration

The Application Status Flag (APPSTAT)

The 4610SW, 4620/4620SW, 4621SW, 4622SW, and 4625SW IP Telephones offer the user numerous applications like Speed Dial, Call Log, Redial, etc. Each of these applications allows the user to add, delete, or in some cases, edit entries. However, you as the administrator may 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 Speed Dial 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.

Table 13: Application Status Flags and Their Meaning

APPSTAT Value

Meaning

Redial and Call Log are suppressed. Speed Dial changes are not

 

allowed.

 

 

1

All administered applications are displayed, with full functionality.

 

This is the default value.

2

Call Log is suppressed. Speed Dial changes are not allowed. Only

 

one-number Redial is allowed.

 

 

3

Speed Dial changes are not allowed.

 

 

In Table 13, “suppressed” applications are not displayed to the user. Softkey labels, application tabs, etc. that would usually be labeled or displayed to indicate the presence of that application are not labeled or displayed. Options associated with suppressed applications can continue to display unless overridden by appropriate OPSTAT parameter administration. However, displayed options have no effect while the application is suppressed.

In Table 13, “Speed Dial changes are not allowed” means the Speed Dial application displays and the user can make calls as normal. However, any controls that allow the user to change any aspect of the Speed Dial application do not display. This restriction includes the ability to add, delete, or edit any Speed Dial name or number.

In Table 13, “Only one-number Redial is allowed” means the user Option that allows a choice between displaying one, three, or six of the last numbers dialed, depending on the telephone, 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 a certain measure of privacy once a given user has left the telephone.
