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).
