Star Code Features7
Star codes are short sequences of digits that users enter where each sequence serves as a
command to the device to perform a certain operation.
Each sequence usually starts with the star key (*) key followed by a 2-digit code (such as *69), hence
the term star code. A typical operation that you can carry out is to set the value of one or more
configuration parameters. The device allows you to issue a star code from the Phone port only; you
issue a star code the same way you dial a number to make a call.
In the device, every star code and its operation are defined with a short star code script parameter.
The set of star codes that can be dialed from the Phone port is collectively referred to as a star code
profile.
The device has two star code profiles available in its configuration, known as Star Code Profile A and
B. Each profile has 30 star code script parameters, known as Code1 to Code30. You can select either
A or B, or None if star codes aren’t to be used.
Set the Star Code Profile
You can select a Star Code Profile (A, B, or None) for interpreting the star codes users enter on the
phone.

code profiles:
