Context-sensitive soft keys

Feature description
Context-sensitive soft keys provide dynamic functionality to the IP Phones
similar to that currently supported on the M39xx digital telephone series.
Context-sensitive soft keys are located directly below the LCD screen on
the IP Phone. The soft key label above each key dynamically changes
depending on the call processing state.
Two new soft keys, Callers List and Redial List, appear in the default idle
state when an IP phone is registered on a Signaling Server with Personal
Directory (PD) server enabled.
The Call Server adds up to ten additional Context-sensitive soft keys on
the IP Phones. See Table 13 "Call features" (page 586) for a list of the
call features with its corresponding soft key position. The functionality and
labeling of soft keys on an IP Phone is defined by the Call Server using
the key map download message. The context-sensitive soft key feature is
enabled on the IP Phone and cannot be turned on or off.
See"Using call features" (page 590)for examples of IP Phone screens in
different call states.

Soft keys configuration

The default order and position of the soft keys change depending on the
features that are configured by a system administrator. For each feature
that is not configured, the corresponding soft key does not appear in the
applicable screen. If a soft key is not configured, the remaining soft keys
shift up to fill the empty soft key position.
The set of soft keys must be configured in set data block for IP terminal
in LD 11.
