Only one audio device can be selected at anytime. The speaker is selected by pressing the SPEAKER
button. The headset is selected by pressing the HEADSET button. When the SPEAKER or HEADSET is
selected, the corresponding LED will be steady GREEN. The handset is selected whenever it goes from
the on-hook to the off-hook position. Hence selecting or turning on of any of the audio device is equivalent
to an off-hook action, while turning off of any of the audio devices while it is equivalent to an on-hook
(hang-up) operation.
When there are no active calls, all audio devices are deselected. When any one of the calls becomes
active, the handset will be selected automatically as the audio device if it is off-hook, else the speaker or
the headset will be selected according to configuration: the user can configure whether speaker or the
headset device has higher preference.
A line is selected by pressing the corresponding Line Key.
To make or receive calls, the user must select a call appearance (Line Key) or an audio device. If the
user selects a call appearance, then an audio device is selected automatically according to user’s
preference setting. If the user selects an audio device, an idle call appearance is selected automatically
in the order L1, L2, L3, and L4. The user may switch between audio devices while the call in any of the
active states.
Exception: When a new call appearance is selected automatically when the user presses the conf soft
key or the xfer soft key, the SPA941 will attempt to pick an idle call appearance that is on the same
Extension as the last active call. If that call appearance is not available, the SPA941 attempts to pick one
whose Extension has the same Proxy server as the last active call. Finally, if that fails, the first idle call
appearance is selected, in the order L1, L2, L3, L4.
Making Calls
There are two steps in making a call:
1) Select an audio device, and
2) Dial the number.
The SPA941 allows the user to perform these two steps in either order. In other words, the user can
select an audio device either before or after dialing.
The SPA941 supports two types of dialing: explicit or implicit. Explicit dialing refers to one of the following
cases:
• enter the target number digits one by one
• enter the speed dial assignment of the target number
• select an entry from a directory, and press the dial soft key
• press a dedicated key, such as the Voice Mail key
“Implicit dialing” refers to dialing a highlighted entry from one of the device’s directories or logs. A number
can be implicitly dialing by selecting an audio device while the number is highlighted on the display.
