•Emergency Numbers

–An administrator can enter a list of emergency numbers in the Emergency Number parameter. When one of these numbers is dialed on an IP phone, the unit disables processing of “CONF”, “HOLD”, and other similar softkeys or buttons to avoid accidentally putting the current call on hold. In addition, only the far end can terminate an emergency call. See ”Dial Plan Parameters” section on page 105.

•GUI Localization: SPA9x2 phone menus can display in languages other than English.

–Additional Character Sets Supported on Phones include Latin2 (Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Croatian, Slovak, Slovenian, Sorbian), Cyrillic (Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian and others), and Latin5 (Turkish). The phones officially support the ISO- 8859-1 to 8859-16 character sets, which encompass all Eastern and Western European languages.

•CALEA Compliance : To ensure compliance with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) in the United States, privacy setting parameters have been modified for the SPA9x2. If a user’s privacy settings are activated, the “From” value is not changed to Anonymous. Instead, the switch equipment masks the caller ID, and the calls can be tracked as required by US government regulations.
