9.6.6 Description of Specific Options
Station Mode Selection – This selection can be set to PBX Behavior or Key System Behavior. This selection
is used to change the way two areas of a phone behaves:
• It affects how some of the PFK functions work as described in Section 9.4, Programmable Function
Keys (PFKs).
• It affects how the Hold button on a handset works. When in Key System mode, the Hold button
performs a system wide call park operation that allows the call to be picked up by any handset. When
in PBX mode or the active call is on a Call Appearance PFK, the Hold button performs a station-based
hold operation that is exclusive to the handset.
Call Assistant / TSP Driver (TAPI) Display
– Selects which call information is displayed in the Call Assistant
and in TAPI-compliant PC applications that receive calls using the TSP driver. The phone may be configured
to cause these applications to display either dialed name/number or regular caller ID name/number
information but not both.
Call Assistant Display Mode
– Controls how this phone is displayed in Call Assistant Directory tab. The
options are:
• Normal
– The extension and the phone’s status are displayed
• Hide Status
– The extension is displayed and the phone’s status always shows as Idle
• Hide Completely
– Neither the extension nor the status is displayed.
Call History Size
– Specifies the number of calls the station will keep in call history. If you specify a value of
zero, the phone will not maintain a Call History to help preserve the handset user’s privacy.
Clock Mode
– This specifies whether the phone station should display its idle screen clock in 12 hour or 24
hour format. There is an option also to disable the clock display if the phone is not synchronized to network
time or for some reason the handset user does not wish the time to be displayed.
Codec Preference Order
– Sets the preferred codec order in the phone. The codec is the method of
encoding/decoding the audio sent to and received by the phone. The two possible codec’s are G.711 and
G.729A. G.711 preserves voice quality, but takes more bandwidth. G.729A takes less bandwidth, but reduces
voice quality.
Note: This setting defines the order of codec selection. Not all codec’s are supported for all call types (for
example, accessing the server Auto Attendant requires G.711). The phone will attempt to use the first
choice but will use whichever codec is required to support the call.
Daylight Savings Time
– Specifies if the handset will use Daylight Savings Time (DST) to compute its local
time. Select Use Current Server Setting if the telephone is in the same time zone as the server. For a remote
phone, you may want to use the DST setting of its actual location.
Hold Button Mode
– Controls the behavior of the phone’s Hold button:
• Hold Calls, Park Lines
– Holds calls on call appearances. Parks calls on line appearances
• Hold then Park
– If pressed and released quickly, the call is held. If the button is pressed for longer,
the call is parked
• Park then Hold – If pressed and released quickly, the call is parked. If the button is pressed for
longer, the call is held
