Linksys SPA922 Using Star Codes to Activate/Deactivate Services, Setting Regional Parameters

Setting Regional Parameters

Vertical Service Activation Codes (Star Codes)

–‘d‘ = Dial tone

–‘m‘ = MWI dial tone

–‘o‘ = Outside dial tone

–‘p‘ = Prompt dial tone

–‘s‘ = Second dial tone

–‘x‘ = No tones are place, x is any digit not used above

If no tone parameter is specified, the SPA9x2 plays the prompt tone by default.

If the * code is not to be followed by a phone number, such as *73 to cancel call forwarding, do not include it in this parameter. In that case, add that * code in the dial plan.

Using Star Codes to Activate/Deactivate Services

SPA9X2 phones accept star codes to activate or deactivate certain services on the phone.

To activate a star code, either off hook the phone and dial the * code or, if you do not know the code, scroll through the LCD menu options to select the desired star code.

When off-hook dialing, the star code is processed by the phone as soon as it is entered. When on-hook dialing, you can pre-dial multiple star codes before the target number. The star codes are handled in the order they are entered, before the target number is dialed. Star codes can also be included in a directory entry or redial list.

The following list briefly defines the supplementary services accessible with star codes (listed on the web page):

•Call Return (*69)—Calls the last caller, regardless which extension.

•Call Back(*66)—Periodically redials the last busy number (every 30 seconds by default) until it rings or until the attempt expires (30 min by default), regardless which extension. Only one call back operation can be ordered at a time. A new order automatically cancels the previous order.

•Cancel Call Back(*86)—Cancels the last call back operation.

•Call Forward All (*72)—Call forwards all inbound calls. Applies to primary extension only

•Cancel Call Forward All (*73)—Cancels call forward all. Applies to primary extension only

•Call Forward No Answer (*92)—Call forwards if no answer. Applies to primary extension only.

•Cancel Call Forward No Answer (*93)—Cancels call forward no answer. Applies to primary extension only.

•Block Caller ID Always (*67)—Blocks caller ID on all outbound calls. Applies to all extensions.

•Block Caller ID Per Call (*81)—Blocks caller ID on the next outbound call (on the current call appearance only).

•Unblock Caller ID Always (*68)—Unblocks caller ID on all outbound calls. Applies to all extensions.
