Enhanced Feature Keys

Note	The Enhanced Feature Key feature from SIP 3.0 is compatible with Enhanced
	Feature Key feature from SIP 3.1 . However, improvements have been made, and
	Polycom recommends that existing configuration files be reviewed and updated.

Customers replacing legacy telephony PBX or key system would like to get equivalent functionality from their new VoIP telephony system. With SIP 3.0, this feature allowed system administrators to program the speed-dials on their phones to interact with the phone user to implement commonly used functions such as “Call Park” in an intuitive fashion.

This capability applies to the SoundPoint IP 301, 320, 330, 430, 501, 550, 560, 601, 650, and 670phones. The enhanced feature key functionality is implemented using Star Code sequences and SIP messaging.

The enhanced feature key definition language was defined to follow current configuration file standards and to be extensible.

The particular Star Code sequence and the associated prompts displayed on the SoundPoint IP phone for the enhanced feature are defined by macros. These macros are case sensitive.

An enhanced feature key can be accessed from all instances where the speed-dial is accessible, for example, unused line keys, speed-dial lists or programmed to “hard” function keys.
