Line Appearance(s) Use of Dial Plan – If not enabled, the phone number that is dialed when a Line

Appearance PFK is selected is not displayed by the phone, is not recorded in the phone’s call history, and is

not available for redial. A reason for disabling this is if the CO lines on the system do not follow the North

American Numbering Plan (including if the lines connects to another PBX). The use of this feature requires

the server’s dial plan to be configured (see Section 11, Dialing Rules and Service Groups).

Off Hook Auto Answer

– If enabled, the phone answers any new call when it goes off hook.

Off Hook Ringing

– Normally, the phone audibly rings anytime there is an active incoming call. However,

when this checkbox is disabled, the phone station will not audibly ring if you are already in an active call. The

appearance LED indicators and the display operation are not affected.

On Hook Dialing

– On hook dialing means that the handset doesn’t have to be picked up (nor the

speakerphone button hit) before dialing a number on the keypad. When the phone is on hook and a digit is

dialed on the keypad, the phone will automatically go into speakerphone mode.

Visual Ringing

– When checked the visual indicator on the phone lights anytime the phone has an incoming

call. When disabled, only audible ringing is heard assuming that is enabled.

9.7 Handset Templates

Configuring many phones can be time consuming and error prone. To improve this, the Allworx

server

provides templates that store a phone configuration. The system provides a factory default template for each

phone type. However, the System Administrator can create his/her own unique templates as well.

A list of all the templates known by the system is in the Handset Configuration Templates section of the

Phone System / Handsets page.

9.7.1 Default Handset Templates

The current default template for each phone type is listed as [ACTIVE] in the list of Handset Configuration

Templates. To make another template the default, click its Activate

link. The current active templates are

used for configuring phones during plug-n-play.
