Chapter 8: Administering applications and options
Customizing Applications and Options
This chapter covers configuration options for activating or deactivating options and applications.
The 9600 Series IP Deskphones offer numerous applications like Contacts, a call History log,
Redial, and so on. Each of these applications allows the user to add, delete, or in some cases,
edit entries. As the administrator, you might want to limit the user functionality.
This chapter also contains information related to administering the Avaya Menu or Home
Screen to include the WML browser, and other browser setup information.
SIP deskphones have a granular way of assigning functionality, with a specific parameter for
each permission, as follows:
● ENABLE_CALL_LOG - Allows end user access to the list of unanswered and answered
calls. If disabled, the History application is not displayed to the user and calls are not
logged.
● ENABLE_REDIAL - Allows the end user to redial one to three previously called numbers. If
disabled, redialing is not available to the end user.
● ENABLE_REDIAL_LIST - Allows the end user to select a number to redial from a list. If
disabled, only the previously-dialed number can be redialed.
● ENABLE_CONTACTS - Allows end user access to a list of numbers and to make calls by
selecting a contact name or number. If disabled, the Contacts application is not displayed
to the user and a Contact list cannot be set up or maintained.
● ENABLE_MODIFY_CONTACTS - If the Contacts application is enabled, this option allows
or prevents the end user from changing or updating the Contact list.
● PROVIDE_EXCHANGE_CONTACTS - If this parameter is disabled, the user can not
access the Exchange contacts. If enabled, the user can access the contacts stored in the
Exchange server through the Contact list, by pressing the Exchange contact button.
● PROVIDE_OPTIONS_SCREEN - If disabled, the Options & Settings menu is not
displayed on the Avaya menu or Home Screen. The user cannot change any of the
features and options associated with the Options & Settings menu.
● PROVIDE_NETWORKINFO_SCREEN - If disabled, the Network Information menu is not
displayed on the Avaya menu or Home Screen.
● PROVIDE_LOGOUT - If disabled, Logout is not displayed to the user as an option on the
Avaya menu or Home Screen.
● PROVIDE_EXCHANGE_CALENDAR - If this parameter is disabled, the user can not
access the Exchange calendar through the deskphone.
