I am trying to add a blind transfer button to the Polycom VVX500 menu.  I was able to get a button added with the following macro.

 

<blind feature.enhancedFeatureKeys.enabled="1" softkey.1.enable="1" softkey.1.precede="1" softkey.1.use.active="1" softkey.1.action="$P1N4$$Trefer$" softkey.1.label="Blind" efk.efkprompt.1.status="1"

efk.efkprompt.1.label="Enter transfer destination"

efk.efkprompt.1.type="numeric"

efk.efkprompt.1.userfeedback="visible"

efk.efkprompt.1.digitmatching="none"

/>

 

The button appear when a call is answered and put on hold but it does not do anything when the button is pressed.

 

I know that I can do a blind transfer by cklicking "Transfer"-"More"-"Blind", this works.

 

However, I would like to get this to the menu when the call is answered instead of having to press More and Blind.

 

Basically an addition of a macro like; softkey.1.action="$FTransfer$$FBlind$"

 

I tired the above too.. but did not work.

 

Appreciate your feedback..thanks

Hello Casey,

welcome to the Polycom Community. I have moved your post from an unrelated post as you are looking to create an EFK and not use a build in functionality.

The community's VoIP FAQ contains this post here:

 

Nov 25, 2011 Question: How can I change the functionality of a softkey button / use EFK?

Resolution: Please check => here <=

 

Please have a look at example 6.

Actually the macro posted on my original post was from Example 6 in your link.  I added the code to the _phone_cust.cfg.  The button appears but when I click on it, does nothing.  Is there any easy way to just get the Blind transfer button appearing without having to press Transfer >More > Blind.

 

Thanks,

 

Casey

Hello Casey,


the example was tested and provided by myself and worked when I posted the solution.

 

If this does not work on your end you may have a copy and paste error or something else.

 

You will need to troubleshoot this locally by simply exporting the configuration.

 

If you still fail you would need to contact your Polycom reseller in order to open a support ticket.

Hi.  We have just deployed VVX500 and we have tried numerous times to add the Blind Key.  We got the blind key added, but it only does a transfer to instead of a blind transfer to..  Please help.  We have looked at the code in the examples, but get the same results..

 
softkey.3.action="$FTransfer$$FBlind$"
  softkey.3.enable="1"
  softkey.3.label="Blind"

 Give this a try

I think you may need to change this to enable="1":

 

softkey.1.enable="0" 

 

Otherwise, it works for me.

 

Is there any way to do a contact selection or address book lookup rather than a numeric extension entry?
