, soft key or any numeric keypad keys automatically

repeats the entry. If the input value is wider than the LCD can display, the 900 Series phone

automatically scrolls the input to the left so that the user can continue to enter input. On the

other hand, the 900 Series phone stops accepting further input for a given field if the maximum

allowed input length has been reached for that field. For Boolean input, the 900 Series phone

displays (y/n); pressing the soft key toggles the current input between yes and no.

When the 900 Series phone displays an option, pressing the soft key either changes the input

field to the next available choice in round-robin fashion, or displays a menu of choices. For

most settings, the input value is saved once the user press

save

or

ok

before exiting the edit

screen for that setting.

However, there are a few exceptions where the user must press

save

again when all the required

changes have been made to the settings so that they are saved into the configuration at the same

time. These exceptions are:

•

Preferences

•

Call Forward

•

Network

•

Speed Dialing

Localization

This section applies to the following SPA900 Series IP Phones:

•

SPA922

•

SPA942

•

SPA962

This section describes how to localize the IP phone display language for these models, referred

to in this section as SPA9x2 phones.

SPA9x2 phones support setting an alternative language on the user display. The administrator

or service provider defines up to nine languages, in addition to English, to be made available

and hosts the dictionaries for each of the languages on the HTTP or TFTP provisioning server.

Language support follows Cisco dictionary principles.

The paragraphs describe parameters that can be defined in the SPA9x2 configuration file.

•

Dictionary server script—This parameter is used to define the location of the dictionary server, the

languages available and the associated dictionary. The syntax is as follows:

<Dictionary_Server_Script ua="na">

</Dictionary_Server_Script>

The default is blank and the maximum number of characters is 512. The detailed format is as

follows:

serv={server ip port and root path};

d0=<language0>;x0=<dictionary0 filename>;

d1=<language1>;x1=<dictionary1 filename>;

d2=<language2>;x2=<dictionary2 filename>;

d3=<language3>;x3=<dictionary3 filename>;

d4=<language4>;x4=<dictionary4 filename>;
