Chapter 9: Administering Applications and Options
Customizing Telephone Applications and Options
This chapter covers configuration options for activating/deactivating options and applications. The 9600 Series SIP 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. As the administrator, you might not want the user to have that level of functionality.
This chapter also contains information related to administering the Avaya A Menu to include the WML browser, and other browser setup information.
In 4600 and 9600 Series H.323 IP Telephones, the parameters APPSTAT (meaning Application permission status) and OPSTAT (meaning Options permission status) control application access and functionality. However, 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones have a more granular way of assigning functionality, with a specific parameter for each permission, as follows:
●ENABLE_CALL_LOG - Allows end user access to the list of unanswered and answered calls. If disabled, the Call Log application is not displayed to the user and calls are not logged.
●ENABLE_REDIAL - Allows the end user to redial one to three previously called numbers. If disabled, redialing is not available to the end user.
●ENABLE_REDIAL_LIST - Allows the end user to select a number to redial from a list. If disabled, only the
●ENABLE_CONTACTS - Allows end user access to a list of numbers and to make calls by selecting a Contact Name/Number. If disabled, the Contacts application is not displayed to the user and a Contact list cannot be set up or maintained.
●ENABLE_MODIFY_CONTACTS - If the Contacts application is enabled
(ENABLE_CONTACTS=1), this option allows or prevents the end user from changing or updating the Contact list.
●PROVIDE_OPTIONS_SCREEN - If disabled, the Options & Settings menu is not displayed on the Avaya menu. The user cannot change any of the features and options associated with the Options & Settings menu.
●PROVIDE_NETWORKINFO_SCREEN - If disabled, the Network Information menu is not displayed on the Avaya menu.
●PROVIDE_LOGOUT - If disabled, Logout is not displayed to the user as an option on the Avaya menu.
These parameters have On (1=enabled)/Off (0=disabled) settings, and are described in detail in Table 11: 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Customizeable System Parameters.
