9.4.4 Function PFK Type

The PFK can be set to perform one of a specified set of functions:

 Centrex Flash

– Sends a flash signal out the analog CO line. This is ignored if not connected to an

analog CO line.

 Headset

– Turns the headset (if one is plugged in) on and off. If a headset is plugged in and the

handset is off-hook, then this button toggles the audio between the headset and the handset.

Note: If a headset PFK isn’t defined, the phone’s speaker button will be used to operate the headset.

 Personal Speed Dial

– Dials a Personal Speed Dial Number that is programmed directly on the phone.

The mapping of Personal Speed Dial PFK’s and Personal Speed Dial Numbers defined in the handset

is as follows. Starting with the uppermost PFK on the phone, count each Personal Speed Dial PFK

beginning with 0. This number determines which handset defined Personal Speed Dial Number the

PFK dials.

 Redial

– Redials the last dialed number. Unless the Enable Line Appearance(s) Use of Dial Plan

phone option is enabled, only Call Appearance (not Line Appearance) dialed calls can be redialed.

9.4.5 Line Appearance PFK Type

The PFK monitors the status of an outside line, answers incoming calls on that line, and also selects the line

for outbound calls. The line is specified when setting up this function for this PFK. For outside lines to be

available for selection, they must be enabled on the Phone System / Outside Lines / Modify page by checking

the Enable Line Appearance checkbox. Any number dialed on a Line Appearance bypasses dialing rules,

service groups, call history, and the handset’s Outside Line Connection parameters (Phone System /

Handsets / Modify Handset).

Unique Allworx Functionality

Allworx has enhanced key-system capabilities relative to SIP devices and Digital Lines. Any SIP proxy, SIP

gateway, or Digital Line (T1) bearer channel can be made available as Line Appearance selections when

they are enabled on their respective configuration pages. Through this manner, the Allworx system can

present a common key-system use model to all external voice circuit facilities including VoIP trunks going to

an ITSP.

9.4.6 Not Used PFK Type

No action. This function is selected when the PFK should be disabled.

9.4.7 Parking Orbit PFK Type

The PFK can be mapped to one of the 9 Parking Orbits. When calls are parked they are sent into a Parking

Orbits 701 through 709. Calls waiting in a parking orbit will time-out after 10 minutes causing the call

disconnect. A PFK can be set up to answer a call in any one of the 9 Parking Orbits.

9.4.8 Queue Appearance PFK Type

The PFK automatically monitors the status of a Call Queue and answers calls that are in the queue. See Call

Queues

for more information on configuring phones for this use.
