Defining an Emergency Dial Plan

Public telephone networks in countries around the world have a single emergency telephone number (emergency services number), that allows a caller to contact local emergency services for assistance when required. The emergency telephone number may differ from country to country. It is typically a three-digit number so that it can be easily remembered and dialed quickly. Some countries have a different emergency number for each of the different emergency services.
You can specify the digits to dial on the IP phone for contacting emergency services. Once you specify the emergency number(s) on the phone, you can dial those numbers directly on the dial pad when required and the phone automatically dials to those
emergency services.
Note: Contact your local phone service provider for available emergency num-
bers in your area.
The following table describes the default emergency numbers on the IP phones.

Key Display Behavior

On the 57i IP Phone, you can configure up to 20 functions on the bottom softkeys. If you have no softkeys configured on the IP Phone, and you assign softkey functions to higher number keys in the Aastra Web UI, the key functions automatically appear in the first available position on the LCD display.
For example, if softkeys 1 through 20 are set to "None", and you set softkey 12 as the following:
Typ e: speeddial Label: LAB Va lu e: 3456
after saving the settings, the "LAB" label actually appears in position 1 of the LCD . A softkey function of "none" does not display on the idle screen at all.
The following illustrations show the configuration of Key 12 and how that key displays on the phone.

This means that when all line/call appearances are in use, 1 call is connected while the rest are on hold. No further outgoing or incoming calls can be made until one of the line/call appearances becomes available.
In active states, such as ringing, conference, connected, etc., all softkeys disappear except softkeys that have been set up as line/call appearances, and any context dependent softkeys required for the active state, such as the Drop softkey in the connected state. Typically, context dependent softkeys appear in the top left position
and all line/call appearance softkeys appear in the remaining positions.
Note: In some situations, such as during a conference call, the line/call appear-
ance softkeys may overwrite some of the context dependent softkeys. In this case, instead of the Previous and Next softkeys, up or down icons,
appear on the display. By using the navigation

Busy Lamp Field (BLF) Key

You can set a softkey to Busy Lamp Field (BLF).
The BLF feature on the IP phones allows a specific extension to be monitored for
state changes. BLF monitors the status (busy or idle) of extensions on the IP phone.
Note: The BLF setting is applicable to the Asterisk server only.
Example
A Supervisor configures BLFs on his phone for monitoring the status of a worker’s phone use (busy or idle). When the worker picks up his phone to make a call, a busy indicator on the Supervisor’s phone shows that the worker’s phone is in use and busy.
On the 57i, the busy and idle indicators show on the IP phone screen display next to the softkey programmed for BLF functionality. When the monitored user is idle, an icon with the handset on-hook shows next to the BLF softkey. When the monitored
user is on an active call, a small telephone icon is shown with the handset off-hook.
Note: You can also use a BLF configured key to dial out. Contact your System
Administrator for more information

BLF List Key

(For use with the BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 13 or higher platform only).
The BLF list feature on the IP phones is specifically designed to support the BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 13 Busy Lamp Field feature.
This feature allows the IP phone to subscribe to a list of monitored users defined
through the BroadWorks web portal.
Note: Your System Administrator must have BLF List enabled on the Broad-
Works Server. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
In addition to monitoring the idle and busy state, the BLF list feature also supports the ringing state. When the monitored user is idle, there is a small telephone icon shown with the handset on-hook. When the monitored user is on an active call then a
small telephone icon is shown with the handset off-hook.
Note: You can use a BLF\List configured key to dial out.
Example
A receptionist has a 57i running Broadsoft firmware that subscribes to a list of extensions from the BroadWorks Application Server. On the 57i, the softkey LEDs illuminate either flashing, solid, or turn off depending on the state of those
extensions.
Note: The Broadworks BLF feature is not the same as the Broadworks Shared
Call Appearance (SCA) feature and does not permit call control over the monitored extension.

Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) Key (for Sylantro Servers)

The 57i and any attached Expansion Modules support Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) for Sylantro servers. The ACD feature allows the Sylantro server to distribute calls from a queue to registered IP phone users (agents).
To use the ACD feature on an IP phone, you must first configure an ACD softkey or Expansion Module softkey. When you want to subscribe to a queue (in order to receive incoming calls), you press the ACD key and the IP phone UI prompts you to specify the following information:
User ID: the phone number(s) used to login into the queue.
Password: the password used to login to the queue.
Available/unavailable: Shows the current status of the IP phone. Specifies if the IP
phone user is available/unavailable to receive a call from the queue.

Directed Call Pickup/Group Call Pickup Keys (for Sylantro Servers)

Aastra IP phones support the Directed Call Pickup (DCP) and Group Call Pickup (GCP) features.
The DCP/GCP feature allows you to intercept - or pickup - a call on a monitored extension. You can configure this feature using the Aastra Web UI to create a DCP or GCP softkey on the IP phone. When you configure a DCP softkey, you specify the extension that you want to monitor. Then, when the monitored extension receives a call, you press the DCP softkey to pick up the call. If the monitored extension receives multiple incoming calls simultaneously, the IP Phone UI displays a list of incoming calls. You select a call from this list, and are connected to the call.
When you configure a GCP softkey, you specify the ring group (for example, extensions 2200 - 2210) that you want to monitor for incoming calls. When an incoming call is received on any of these extensions, the Operator presses the GCP softkey and is connected to the call. If multiple incoming calls are received simultaneously, the Operator press the GCP softkey, selects an extension from a list,
and presses the Pickup softkey to answer the call.
Note: Your System Administrator must configure the extension range for the
Group Call Pickup feature. Contact your System Administrator for more information.

XML Key

The 57i IP phone has a feature you can enable called "XML" (Extensible Markup Language). XML is a markup language much like HTML. Your System Administrator can create customized XML menu services and load them to your IP phone. These services include things like weather and traffic reports, contact information, company info, stock quotes, or custom call scripts. You can configure
XML using the Aastra Web UI only.
Note: The XML services must be set up by your System Administrator before
you can use the key. Contact your System Administrator for more infor­mation.
On the 57i IP phone, you can access the XML applications from the IP Phone UI in two ways:
•Via the "Services" menu
• Via an XML softkey
By default, the Services key is the first key on the top, left softkeys.
Services Key
Top and bottom keys are softkeys
Line Keys and Softkeys
Using the Aastra Web UI, you can configure a key to access XML applications. Under Operations->Softkeys and XML you can assign a key the type "XML".
You must also specify an XML URI and a Services label using the following XML fields:
• XML Application URI
• XML Application Title
The XML Application URI is the URI loaded by your phone. The phone performs an HTTP GET. Contact your System Administrator for the applicable XML URI to enter in the "XML Application URI" field.
The XML Application Title is the label that displays beside the XML softkey on your phone. If you use the Services key to access the XML features, the "XML
Application Title" is the label that displays on the Services Menu in the IP Phone UI.
Note: Contact your System Administrator for the applicable URI to enter in
this field.

Park/Pickup Keys

The IP phone has a park and pickup call feature that allows you to park a call and pickup a call when required. There are two ways a user can configure this feature:
• Using a static configuration
• Using a programmable configuration (on the softkeys)
Note: The IP phone accepts both methods of configuration. However, to avoid
redundancy, Aastra Telecom recommends you configure either a static configuration or a programmable configuration.
The IP phone supports the Park/Pickup feature on the Asterisk, BroadWorks, Sylantro, and ININ PBX servers.
The following paragraphs describe the park and pickup methods of configuration on the IP phones.

Park/Pickup Static Configuration

You can configure a static configuration for parking and picking up a call using the Aastra Web UI at Basic Settings-> Preferences.
Line Keys and Softkeys
By entering the appropriate value in the "Park Call" and "Pickup Parked Call" fields, you tell the phone where to park a live call and where to pickup the parked call.
On the IP phone UI, the static configuration method displays the following:
• When a call comes in, and you pickup the handset, the default label of "Park" displays on the Phone UI.
• After pressing the "Park" softkey to park the call, the default label of "Pickup" displays on the phone UI.
Note: On the 57i handset, pressing Ï displays the "Park" and "Pickup" labels.
Model 57i IP Phone User Guide 91
The values you enter in the Aastra Web UI for the Park/Pickup call feature are dependant on your type of server. The following table provides the values you enter for the "Park Call" and "Pickup Parked Call" fields in the Aastra Web UI.
