Usability Features

Dial Plan Support for Secondary Dial Tone

The IP phones now support a feature that allows the user to dial a predefined dial string, obtain a dial tone, and continue dialing. A User or Administrator can configure this using the existing Dial Plan feature on the phone.

You can enter a new character string in the dial plan that allows you to configure the secondary dial tone. The character string is of the form ".;." , where the period indicates an arbitrary number of digits and the semicolon indicates that the phone is to present a dial tone after the previous dialed digit. For example, in the string:

"9;xxxxx"

the user dials “9” to get the outside line, listens for the dial tone, and continues to dial the applicable number. The “;” tells the phone to present a second dial tone after the previously dialed digit. “The “xxxxx” in the example tells the phone that a phone number is dialed after the secondary dial tone is audible.

You can enter the Secondary Dial Tone string in the Dial Plan using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.

You use the following parameter in the configuration files to configure a secondary dial tone:

• sip dial plan

You use the following parameter in the Aastra Web UI to configure a secondary dial tone:

IP Phone Release Notes 2.2

Features in Release 2.2

Account-Based Do Not Disturb (DND) and Call Forward (CFWD)

In previous releases of the IP Phone, you could configure a DND key to set “do not disturb” on all the lines on the phone. Also in previous releases, you could configure CFWD on all lines (global settings) or on specific lines (local settings) on the phone.

In Release 2.2, the IP phones have a new DND and CFWD feature that allows an Administrator and User to configure “do not disturb” and “call forwarding” by account. You can set specific modes for the way you want the phone to handle DND and CFWD. The three modes you can set on the phone for these features are:

• Account

• Phone

• Custom.

The following paragraphs describe account-based DND and CFWD:

• DND Account-Based Configuration

• CFWD Account-Based Configuration

DND Account-Based Configuration

Previous to release 2.2, DND was configurable on the phone-side only on a global basis by configuring a DND key. Now an Administrator or User can configure DND on the phone-side by setting a mode for the phone to use (account, phone, or custom). Once the mode is set, you can use the IP Phone UI to use the DND feature.

Note: If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the

mode setting is ignored and the phone behaves as if the mode was set to “Phone”.

5i Series IP Phone Release Notes

Features in Release 2.2

The following describes the softkey behavior for each DND mode.

• Account - DND key toggles the account in focus on the IP Phone UI, to ON or OFF if DND enabled for that account.

• Phone - DND key toggles all accounts on the phone to ON or OFF.

• Custom - DND key displays custom screens on the IP Phone UI. User can select whether to enable/disable DND per account, enable DND on all accounts, or disable DND on all accounts.

The following table describes the softkey and Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) LEDs when you enable DND on the IP Phone.

Softkey LED Behavior for All Modes

DND key LED RED if current account in

focus has DND ON. DND key LED OFF when current account in focus has DND disabled.

MWI LED Behavior for All Modes

MWI LED ON if current account in focus has

DND ON. MWI LED OFF if current account in focus has DND OFF.

You can configure the DND softkey and the DND mode (Account, Phone, Custom) using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI. Once you configure

DND, you can access the DND screen on the IP Phone UI.

Important Notes

• In the Aastra Web UI, the “Account Configuration” page replaces the previous “Call Forward Settings” page.

• In the IP Phone UI, the new DND key feature now has new menu screens.

• If you make changes to the configuration for DND via the IP Phone UI, you must refresh the Aastra Web UI screen to see the changes.

IP Phone Release Notes 2.2

Features in Release 2.2

CFWD Account-Based Configuration

Call Forward (CFWD) on the IP phone allows incoming calls to be forwarded to another destination.

Previous to Release 2.2, you could configure CFWD on all lines (global settings) or on specific lines (local settings) on the phone, using the IP Phone UI and the Aastra Web UI. You could configure call forwarding on the IP Phone UI on a global basis only using the Options Menu.

An Administrator or User can now configure CFWD on the phone-side by setting a mode for the phone to use (Account, Phone, or Custom). Once the mode is set, you can use the IP Phone UI to use the CFWD feature at Options->Call Forward or by pressing a configured Call Forward softkey/programmable key/extension module key.

The following describes the behavior for each CFWD mode.

• Account mode - The account mode allows you to configure CFWD on a per account basis. Pressing a configured CFWD key applies to the account in focus.

• Phone mode - The Phone mode allows you to set the same CFWD configuration for all accounts (All, Busy, and/or No Answer). When you configure the initial account, the phone applies the configuration to all other accounts. (In the Aastra Web UI, only the account you configured is enabled. All other accounts are grayed out but set to the same configuration.) Using the Aastra Web UI, if you make changes to that initial account, the changes apply to all accounts on the phone.

• Custom mode - The Custom mode allows you to configure CFWD for a specific account or all accounts. You can configure a specific mode (All, Busy, and/or No Answer) for each account independently or all accounts. On the 51 and 53i phones, you can set all accounts to ALL On or ALL Off. On the 55i, 57i, and 57i CT, you can set all accounts to All On, All Off, or copy the configuration for the account in focus to all other accounts using a CopytoAll softkey.

Note: If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the

mode setting is ignored and the phone behaves as if the mode was set to “Phone”.

5i Series IP Phone Release Notes

Features in Release 2.2

In previous releases, you could configure one phone number and then select the current mode (All, Off, Busy, No Answer, Busy No Answer). In Release 2.2, you can enable different call forwarding rules/modes independently (for example, you can set different phone numbers for Busy, All, and NoAns modes and then turn them on/off individually).

The following table describes the key and Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) LEDs when you enable CFWD on the IP Phone.

Key LED Behavior for All Modes

CFWD key LED RED if CFWD All, CFWD

Busy, or CFWD No Answer is enabled for the account in focus. CFWD key LED OFF if any CFWD mode is disabled.

MWI LED Behavior for All Modes

MWI LED ON if current account in focus has

CFWD ALL enabled. MWI LED OFF if CFWD All is disabled.

You can enable/disable CFWD and set a CFWD key using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI. You can set CFWD mode (Account, Phone, Custom) using the configuration files, Aastra Web UI or IP Phone UI.

You can still use the previous call forwarding parameter if desired in the configuration files.

• In the Aastra Web UI, the “Account Configuration” page replaces the previous “Call Forward Settings” page.

• In the IP Phone UI, the new CFWD feature has new menu screens at the path Options->Call Forward or by pressing a configured CFWD key.

• If you make changes to the configuration for CFWD via the IP Phone UI, you must refresh the Aastra Web UI screen to see the changes.

4 In the “Call Forward Key Mode” field, select a call forward mode to use on the phone.

Valid values are: Account, Phone, Custom. Default is Account.

• account The account mode allows you to configure CFWD on a per account basis. Pressing a configured CFWD key applies to the account in focus.

• custom The Custom mode allows you to configure CFWD for a specific account or all accounts. You can configure a specific state (All, Busy, and/or No Answer) for each account independently or all accounts. On the 51 and 53i phones, you can set all accounts to ALL On or ALL Off. On the 55i, 57i, and 57i CT, you can set all accounts to All On, All Off, or copy the configuration for the account in focus to all other accounts using a CopytoAll softkey.

Notes:

1. If there is no CFWD key configured on the phone or it is removed, you can still set the CFWD

modes via the IP Phone UI at the path Options->Call Forward.

2. If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the mode setting is ignored and the

phone behaves as if the mode was set to “Phone”.

3. When configuring a CFWD state (All, Busy, No Answer) for an account, you must configure a

CFWD number for that state in order for the state to be enabled.

5 Click to save your changes.
