Polycom SIP 3.1 manual Examples, “!” and “” macro prefixes cannot be mixed in the same macro line

Configuring Your System

•If two macros have the same name, the first one will be used and the subsequent ones will be ignored.

•“'!” and “^” macro prefixes cannot be mixed in the same macro line.

•A sequence of characters prefixed with “!” are parsed as a macro name. The exception is the speed dial reference, which starts with “!” and contains digits only.

•A sequence of characters prefixed with “^” is the action string.

•The sequence of characters accessed from speed dial keys must be prefixed by either “!” or “^” so it will be processed as an enhanced feature key. All macro references and action strings added to the local directory contact field must be prefixed by either “!” or “^”.

•Action strings used in soft key definitions do not need to be prefixed by “^”. However, the “!” prefix must be used if macros or speed dials are referenced.

For more information, refer to Configurable Soft Keys on page 4-50.

•A sequence of macro names in the same macro is supported (for example, “!m1!m2” ).

•A sequence of speed dial references is supported (for example, “!1!2” ).

•A sequence of macro names and speed dial references is supported (for example, “!m1!2!m2” ).

•Macro names that appear in the local contact directory must follow the format “!<macro name>” , where <macro name> must match an <elklist> mname entry. The maximum macro length is 100 characters.

•A sequence of macros is supported, but cannot be mixed with other action types.

•Action strings that appear in the local contact directory must follow the format “^<action string>”. Action strings can reference other macros or speed dial indexes. Protection against recursive macro calls exists (the enhanced feature keys fails once 50 macro substitutions is reached).
