Administering Telephone Options

The telephone will un-register if it is a visiting user telephone. But that telephone will become registered inactive if it is the primary telephone.

Set the VU_MODE configuration parameter value in the settings file to determine the visiting user login routine. VU_MODE determines whether the phone will support Visiting User capabilities as follows:

If the VU_MODE value is zero (Off) the telephone is considered a non-VU phone. This is the default value and the value associated with the user's "home" phone. The inactivity timer is not applied when VU_MODE is 0.

If the VU_MODE value is 1 (Optional), the telephone presents the user with the Login Screen with a Primary Phone yes/no toggle field, for the user to designate whether the telephone is that user's primary phone. If the user selects "yes", then the phone operates as a non-visiting user telephone and the inactivity timer is not applied. If the user selects "no", then the telephone operates in the visiting user mode where an inactivity timer will log the user off after a predetermined time.

If the value is 2 (Forced), the telephone is always in the visiting user mode and the inactivity timer is always applied.

Emergency Number Administration

Set the PHNEMERGNUM configuration parameter in the settings file to assign an emergency telephone number. This telephone number will be automatically dialed whenever the Emerg softkey is selected on the Login screen, or the Phone screen, or when the user chooses the Yes softkey on an Emergency pop-up screen.

The local proxy routes emergency calls from a user at a visited phone so that the local emergency number is called. When PHNEMERGNUM is administered, using the Emerg softkey overrides the SPEAKERSTAT parameter setting or a user-selected referred audio path. This means that the even if the Speakerphone is disabled it is the default transducer when the user presses the Emerg softkey.
