Reprogramming Hard Key Functionality Using the Configuration Files
Use the following procedures to reprogram the functionality of hard keys on the 6867i and 6869i IP phones.
Customizing the Key Type List in the Mitel Web UI
An Administrator can configure which key types display in the Mitel Web UI list for a Softkey, Programmable Key, and/or
Expansion Module Key,. Currently, in the Mitel Web UI for a phone, you can select a type of key from a list of more than 20
key types to assign to a softkey, programmable key, and/or expansion module key.
Using the configuration files, you can specify key types to display in the key type list that apply to a User’s environment.
In addition to being able to specify which key types display in the list, the Administrator can also determine in which order
the key types display.
You can use the following configuration file parameters to control which key types to display and specify in which order to
display them in:
• softkey selection list
If no value is specified for the “softkey selection list” parameter, the key “Type” list displays all of the key types by default.
If an Administrator configures specific key types for a phone in the configuration file, and the phone for which he down-
loads the configuration to already has key types configured on it, those key types display in the key list for those keys, in
addition to the key types specified by the Administrator. For example, a phone has a Park key and a Pickup key already
configured on the phone, and the Administrator downloads a configuration file to the phone that has specific key types of
None, Line, Speeddial, and XML. After the configuration file is downloaded, the Park key list will show None, Line, Speed-
dial, XML, and Park; the Pickup key list will show None, Line, Speeddial, XML, and Pickup; all other keys that were config-
ured as None before the download will show only None, Line, Speeddial, and XML.
Configuration Files
For specific parameters you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the sections, “Hard Key Settings for 6867i and 6869i” on pageA-197,
“Locking Keys” on pageA-202, and “Ring Splash Settings” on pageA-207.
Notes:
• Any key types configured that do not apply to the phone are ignored.
• The SAVE and DELETE keys appear by default Keys 5 and 6 on the 6865i unless your Administrator configured these
keys as other functions.
• An Administrator must use the English value when configuring the key types in the configuration files.
• After configuring specific key types for a phone, the key types in the Mitel Web UI display the same for both the User
and Administrator Web interfaces for that phone.
