[FAQ] 8400 Series utilizing PTT/Page button as Speed Dial

[ Edited ]

The 8400 Series has the ability to utilize a PTT/Page functionality.

 

NOTE: This functionality will only work with UCS 4.0.2 Rev B or newer. Further changes may be so please consult the Admin Guide or your Polycom Reseller for further support.

 

If this button should be used for a speed dial as an Alarm button instead below configuration could be used:

 

<ptt ptt.pttMode.enable="0" /> 
<key key.20.function.prim="SpeedDial" key.20.subPoint.prim="1" />

 

The ptt.pttMode.enable="0" ensures that the PTT/Page functionality is disabled

The key.20.function.prim="SpeedDial" assignees the new functionality of the Key as a Speed Dial.

The key.20.subPoint.prim="1" assigns the Speed Dial 1 to the Key.

 

The phone will either need an individual [PHONE_MAC_ADDRESS]-directory.xml or a global 000000000000-directory.xml with a speed dial at index 1.

 

Example:

 

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?> 
- <directory>
- <item_list>
- <item>
  <ln>ALARM</ln> 
  <fn></fn> 
  <ct>1234</ct> 
  <sd>1</sd> 
  </item>
  </item_list>
  </directory>
