Administering the Avaya A Menu
The Avaya A Menu is a list of sub-applications the user can select from to invoke the
corresponding functionality. A file called AvayaMenuAdmin.txt is available with downloads on
which you can specify the menu label, URI, and list order of WML applications on the A Menu.
A Home screen replaces the A Menu for touch screen deskphones only for access to menu
options and settings, log out, Bluetooth setup, and touch screen cleaning. The Home screen also
displays WML applications, Favorite contact speed dial buttons, Avaya applications such as the
World Clock and Weather, and a calculator. For more information on administration of touch
screen deskphones, see
Special Administration for Touchscreen deskphones on page 146. The
addition of touch screen models requires that you use the AvayaMenuAdmin.txt file to specify the
WML applications you want the deskphone to display on the Home screen. These applications are
displayed in order from left to right, going to a second page if necessary.
Important:
You must set the system parameter AMADMIN in the 46xxsettings file for Avaya A Menu to
work with WML applications. The AvayaMenuAdmin.txt file must be a Unicode file to be
properly processed by the phones. You can create a Unicode version of this file using
Notepad or most text editors. Select Encoding and Unicode.
If WML applications are installed and the system parameter AMADMIN is set in the settings file:
• The WML applications appear in the first-level A Menu as specified in the AvayaMenuAdmin
file, as shown in Figure 1 on page 146.
• The first level A Menu on all 9600 Series IP deskphones except touch screen deskphones
includes a single entry (Phone Settings) that leads to a screen containing choices for Options
& Settings and Network Information. For touch screen phones, the Home screen shows a
Settings option that leads to an Options & Settings menu.
• The Phone Settings screen is essentially the current Options and Settings menu, with the
addition of Network Information, as shown in
Figure 2 on page 147.
If WML applications are installed and the system parameter WMLHOME is set in the settings file,
the Avaya A Menu is identical to the pre-Release 1.2 A Menu.
If WML applications are not installed, the A Menu is the same as the current Options & Settings
menu, with the addition of Network Information, Log Off, and About Avaya IP Deskphone.
Depending on how you have administered WML applications, you can present the alternatives for
sub-applications as follows:
• Set the system parameter AMADMIN to the URL of the AvayaMenuAdmin.txt in the
46xxsettings file when you want to display multiple WML applications on the Avaya A Menu.
For more information, see Main Avaya Menu with WML Applications Administered on
page 146 and Administering the Avaya Menu with WML applications on page 147 in this
chapter.
• Set the system parameter WMLHOME in the settings file for all except the 9610 when you
want the deskphone to display the Browser instead of individual applications.
