Appendix 3 - Programmable Functions
Following is a brief description of the function key settings available on the Function keys page of the phone's web
interface.
Freely programmable functions
Action URL Action URLs are basically HTTP GET Requests that allow the phone to interact
with web server applications. They can be used to send various data from the
phone to a web server, like the customized settings stored on the phone;
passwords are replaced by empty strings. Action URLs can be triggered by
predefined events ("Action URL Settings" page of the phone's web interface) or
manually by a pressing a function key that has been programmed to trigger an
action.
Auto Answer With this setting, your phone will automatically accept incoming calls when it is
idle. If you leave the text field empty, incoming calls for all configured identities will
be accepted; if you enter the number of an identity in the text field, only calls to
that identity will be accepted automatically (i.e., 1 for Identity 1, 2 for Identity 2
etc.).
BLF (Busy Lamp Field) This function key allows showing the status (idle, ringing, held call, busy) of
another extension on the key's LED. By pressing the key, it may also be possible
to pick up calls ringing on the extension, to dial the extension when the phone is
idle, and to transfer an incoming call ringing on your own extension. These
functionalities depend on your PBX; for more information, please check Gigaset's
interoperability page and the PBX manual. With Asterisk, generally use this
feature rather than extension.
Button This is a function key that is connected to your PBX to perform a task specified in
the buttons document.
Call Agent This function key can be used by call agents to perform one of three different
functions, depending on the value entered in the "Number" text field:
Logging onto and off the system. Text field entry:
F_CALL_AGENT_LOGGEDIN.
Signalìng readyness to accept calls. For this function to work, the agent
must be logged in. Text field entry: F_CALL_AGENT_READY.
Announcing that they are working after a call. For this function to work, the
agent must be logged in. Text field entry:
F_CALL_AGENT_WORKINGAFTERCALL.
Conference Server This function key can be used for PBX-based conferences and for local
conferences on the phone itself.
PBX-based conferences. When a conference room or conference account
has been created on the server for an individual identity, you can dedicate
a function key to calling and monitoring the conference room. Select the
identity and the "Conference server" function from the respective drop-
down menus and enter the SIP URI of the conference room in the
"Number" text field. For information on how to use this key with your
particular PBX, please check the PBX manual.
Phone-based conferences. If there is no SIP URI in the text field, pressing
the function key will initiate a phone-based conference with all held calls
and any active call.
DTMF This function allows the specification of arbitrary key sequences (allowed digits: "0-
9", "*", "#", "A-D" and flash: "!") which will be sent via DTMF when this key is
pressed during an active call.
Extension This function key allows showing the status (idle, ringing, held call, busy) of
another extension on the key's LED. By pressing the key, it may also be possible
to pick up calls ringing on the extension, to dial the extension when the phone is
idle, and to transfer an
incoming call ringing on your own extension. These functionalities depend on your
PBX; for more information, please check Gigaset interoperability page and the
PBX manual. With Asterisk, generally use BLF rather than this function.
