Keymaps
A keymap group determines the layout of the buttons for all the endpoints assigned to that
group. If any of the buttons in the keymap group are user-programmable or undefined, they can
be changed by the endpoint user. Up to 250 different keymap groups can exist. Each node con-
tains its own keymap programming.
Each Inter-Tel endpoint is assigned a standard keymap and can also have an alternate keymap.
For information about switching between standard and alternate keymaps, see page 156.
When the system is in the default state all endpoints are assigned to default Keymap 01. There
are no individual preprogrammed keymaps for each of the specific endpoint types. And, the
default Speaker, , and buttons are not programmable.
As part of the installation procedure, the installer must make sure the buttons are labeled to
match their functions.
The buttons in each keymap can be assigned the following functions:
• Accept Button: Not required for digital endpoints. When using numeric mode, digital
endpoint users press on both arrows of the Volume button at once to accept an entry.
• Cancel Button: No further programming is necessary. This button is used to cancel a
feature or cancel an entry when in numeric mode.
• Call Button: Up to 10 Call buttons can be assigned in each keymap. These buttons are
used for call access. They are not associated with specific trunks. Instead, they are
assigned to calls in the order that the calls are placed or received. In the following
example, the user has three Call buttons.
Table 16 describes the use of three Call buttons.
If there are more calls in progress than there are Call buttons (e.g., if another call rings
in to the endpoint in the example), the new call will not have an available Call button
and will camp on to the endpoint until a Call button becomes available. The call will
then appear under the available button. Pressing an idle Call button will enter the pro-
grammed Outgoing Call feature for that endpoint. If no button is programmed
in the keymap, intercom calls will appear under Call buttons.
• Down Button: No further programming is necessary. This button can be used scrolling
backward through displays. When the endpoint is idle, it can be used for adjusting vol-
ume, in place of the Volume button. Digital endpoints use the Volume button.
• DSS Button: A DSS button dials the associated extension number when pressed. If
assigned to a button with a lamp, it will also show the status of the associated station.
Mini-DSS buttons cannot be changed by the station user.
