Chapter 3 Managing Linksys IP Phones

Using Call Features

Dialing Assistance

Dialing assistance is an option you can enable or disable under the Preferences menu. If the option is enabled, the phone shows up to ten potential matches from the Redial List (most recent first) and from the Personal Directory as you dial the target number. This feature applies to both off-hook (with dial tone) and on-hook (without dial tone) dialing. When the suggestion list appears, you can scroll down the list using the Up/Down key to select the desired target number from the list. When looking for matches from the Redial List and the Directory, the 900 Series phone skips any leading *codes, so that the match is purely based on the target number. If configured on the phone, the *code that is skipped may be any of the following:

Call forward activation and deactivation codes

Secure call activation and deactivation codes

Block CID activation and deactivation codes

Block anonymous call activation and deactivation codes

DND activation and deactivation codes

Prefer codec and Force codec codes

Referral services codes and Feature Dial Services codes

Supplementary Services

The 900 Series phone supports the following supplementary services:

Block Caller ID —If enabled, the 900 Series phone attempts to hide the caller-ID on all outbound calls by default. You can also enable or disable this feature on a per call basis by pre dialing a *code before making the call.

Block Anonymous Call —Rejects all inbound calls with no caller-ID with a 406 response

Do Not Disturb (DND) —Rejects all inbound calls as if the phone is busy. That is, the phone either responds a 302 if call forward on busy if enabled, or 486 otherwise.

Secure Call —If enabled, the 900 Series phone tries to negotiate on all outbound calls to use encrypted media (SRTP) by default. You can also enable or disable this feature on a per-call basis by pre dialing a *code before making the call. Note that to use Secure Call on an extension, <Mini Certificate> and <SRTP Private Key> must be configured for that extension. The enabling and disabling of these services applies to calls on all configured extensions on the 900 Series phone

Call Logs

There are three call logs maintained for each VoIP interface:

Redial List—Each Redial List entry is added when dialing is completed, regardless if the number is correct or not, or if the call is successful or not.

Answered Calls—An Answered Call is logged when the incoming call is answered.

Missed Calls—A Missed Call is logged for each incoming call that causes the phone to ring but not answered.

The 900 Series phone keeps up to 60 entries per log in reverse chronological order. The logs are saved in the phone non-volatile memory. All call logs can be viewed on the 900 Series phone web page using the following link:
