Entering and Saving Settings

The SPA900 Series phone GUI lets you enter alphanumeric and numeric inputs. You can enter the following data types into the phone:

•Numeric string, such as a phone number when dialing

•Alphanumeric string, such a name when adding a directory entry

•IP address, such as a DNS server IP address

•Boolean (y/n), such as enabling or disabling the DHCP option or selecting a preferred audio device or ring tone

When more than one data type applies to an entry, the phone shows a soft key for switching input modes among the types: you can scroll through the available types, such as num, alpha, or IP. The cursor also changes according to Table 3-3, to indicate your current input mode:
