Function keys on Snom phones
Every phone has a limited number of hard keys. Phone users, however, have a myriad of
dierent 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.
There are four types of programmable function keys: See the illustration in "At a glance" on page
18.
• Freely programmable function keys with LEDs (P1 - P12). 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 dierent
providers or when you wish to present dierent identities to certain destinations.
For example: If you have programmed key P12 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 P12'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. See appendix for more information. 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.
