Function keys on snom phones
Every phone has a limited number of hard keys. Phone users, however, have a myriad of different
priorities and preferences when asked which functions they use most often and which functionalities
they would like to access quickly. snom has therefore designed the function keys to be programmable,
even the preprogrammed “hard keys” whose default function is printed on the casing.
The phone has four types of programmable function keys: See "At a glance" on page 19 for an
illustration.
• Freely programmable function keys with LEDs (P1 - P18). All available functionalities, including key
events, can be programmed onto them.
◦ Context
This setting specifies which configured identity will be used when executing the functionality of
the key. You may want to use this feature when you are have accounts with different providers
or when you wish to present different identities to certain destinations.
For example: If you have programmed key P16 to speed dial a specific number and you want
to use configured identity 2 to call that number, select configured identity 2 from the drop-down
menu of P16's "Context". When you speed dial the number by pressing key P16, identity 2
will be used as the outgoing identity.
The default setting is "Active", which means that the identity selected as the phone's outgoing
identity at any given time will be used.
◦ Type
Select the type of functionality from the drop-down list. If you select "Key Event", a drop-down
list with the available key events will replace the text field under "Number". The default setting is
"line".
◦ Number
Enter one phone number or value for the function or, if the function is key event, select an event
from the drop-down list. Enter phone numbers exactly the way they need to be dialed, i.e, type
the number without spaces or punctuation marks between the digits. For example, a number
with an area code that might conventionally be notated as (916) 555-1234 should be entered
as 9165551234.
◦ Short Text
This entry is optional. It can be used to enter the name associated with the phone number or
other descriptive text.
