Entering text
You can use the following methods to enter and edit text on your Avaya 1140E IP Deskphone:
• Entering text using the IP Deskphone dialpad on page 53
•
Entering text using the USB keyboard on page 56
Using the dialpad
You use can use combinations of the letters and numbers on the dialpad of your IP Deskphone to,
for example, spell names or words in Instant Messages (IMs), enter SIP addresses, create Address
Book entries, and to designate feature key labels.
To make a call, you can dial an alphanumeric SIP address (for example, jdoe2@domain.com) or
you can dial a Directory Number (DN), depending on the local system configuration.
Note:
Some service providers support only the use of a Directory Number (DN) such as 555-5555 to
initiate a call to another IP Deskphone. Contact your system administrator or service provider to
determine if alphanumeric dialing is supported. Alphanumeric dialing consists of string of text
that contain letters and numbers that make up, for example, a SIP address.
Entering text using the IP Deskphone dialpad
For applications that offer text input, when you use the dialpad to enter text the system activates the
abc/123 context-sensitive soft key.
You can toggle between numeric and alphabetic input as follows:
• When the context-sensitive soft key label is abc, you can enter alphabetic text.
• When the context-sensitive soft key label is 123, you can enter numbers.
Figure 17: Context-sensitive soft key abc/123
For example, if you want to enter the lower case letter a, press the abc/123 context-sensitive soft
key to toggle to alphabetic input. Then press the number 2 key once. If you want to enter the upper
case letter C, press the number 2 key six times. You can cycle through the letters (and the numeral)
by pressing the number button repeatedly.
