Line Keys, Programmable Keys, and Softkeys Line Key You can set a programmable key or softkey to act as a line/call appearance key on the 6735i. The This key acts as a line that behaves the same as a hard line key (L1, L2, L3, and L4). For more information about the behavior of line keys, see "Multiple Line and Call Appearances" on page 44. If you configure line keys for the bottom softkeys, the status of the lines/call appearance keys appear on the phone's display as shown in the following image. L1 John Smith 01/01/14 11:00am L5 L8 L6 L9 L7 Icons next to the softkeys on the phone's display indicate the status for that line or call. The following table provides a description for each icon. Activity Light Icon Idle Solid Connected Solid Ringing Flashing On Hold Flashing Description There is no call activity for the line/call appearance softkey. A call is connected to your phone on this line/call appearance softkey. The equivalent on a line/call appearance hard key is a solid green light. A call is ringing on your phone on this line/call appearance softkey. The equivalent on a line/call appearance hard key is a fast flashing green light. A call is on hold on your phone on this line/call appearance softkey. The equivalent on a line/call appearance hard key is a slow flashing green light. Depending on how the phone has been configured, the maximum number of total line/call appearances that can be configured is 9 (4 line/call appearance hard keys plus 5 softkeys or programmable keys). If all line/call appearances have been set up between two different numbers, a total of 8 lines can be configured. 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 appearance softkeys may overwrite some of the con- text dependent softkeys. In this case, instead of the Previous and Next softkeys, up or down icons, 5 and 2 appear on the display. By using the 5 and 2 navigation keys, you can access the same functionality as the Previous and Next softkeys. You use the Aastra Web UI to set a programmable key or softkey as a line. Configuring a Line Key You can set a key as an additional line on the 6735i. The key acts as a line that behaves the same as a hard line key.
