Key configuration

Here you can specify the function of the configurable keys.

The configurable key types available differ depending on the system phone.

Table 1. Configurable key types
ID	Designation
F	Foxkeys / softkeys; quickly accessible, interactive, display-controlled keys
C1	Presence key (MiVoice 5300/MiVoice 5300 IP) / Charge contact (DECT wireless phones) / Configurable keys (Mitel 6700 SIP/Mitel 6800 SIP)
H	Configurable keys of DECT wireless phones (hot keys) or MitelSIP phones
S, T	Configurable keys on the corded terminals
A, B, C	Configurable keys on the expansion keypads in Position A, B or C

The key mode is used to specify the function of a configurable key.

Table 2. Key mode of configuration keys
Key mode	Designation	Explanation
Call number	Number key	Configurable with any one or two call numbers and the relevant names
Function	Function key	Storing a key with a function
Team/ Busy lamp field	Team key / Busy lamp field key	Operating calls to another user
KT line	Line key	Line key for key telephones and attendant consoles.
Operator	Line key	Line key on operator console
KT line	Personal line	Personal call key on operator console and key telephone. Note: You can only set up a personal line if you have configured a key as KT line or as Operator. It is also deleted again automatically when the last KT line or Operator key is deleted.
Room	Room key	Room key on reception phone

notes:

A phone becomes a key telephone if you configure a key as a KT.
A Mitel 6869 SIP, Mitel 6873 SIP, Mitel 6930 SIP or Mitel 6940 SIP phone becomes a operator phone if you configure a soft key as operator key. To be able to do so, you must activate the corresponding option in the assigned permission set.
A MiVoice 5380/ 5380 IP phone becomes a operator phone if you configure a key on the MiVoice M535 expansion key module as operator console.
A Mitel 6873 SIP or Mitel 6940 SIP phone becomes a reception phone if you configure a key as room key. To be able to do so, you must activate the corresponding option in the assigned permission set.
A MiVoice 5380 / 5380 IP phone becomes a reception phone if you configure a key on the MiVoice M535 expansion key module as room. To display the reception menu, you must activate the corresponding option in the assigned permission set.
Not all key types can be configured on all system phones and only certain system phones can be used as key telephone, operator phone or reception phone (see the table below).
Key configuration for Charging contact and Hotkeys is supported only on Mitel SIP DECT and Mitel TDM DECT phones. Mitel 612 DECT phone does not support side-key, which is normally used for the Hotkey, but another key can be configured with the "Hotkey" function.

Function keys

Function keys are configurable keys which you can seize with a function. A large choice of predefined functions is available. You can also write your own functions using function commands and function codes (select configurable function). The function commands are listed here:

Table 4. The following function commands are available:
“A”	Seize line with maximum priority
“I”	Seize line
"H"	Seize line in hands-free mode
“X”	Disconnect
“P”	Pause 1 second before next action
“Lxx”	Seize line xx (line keys)
“N”	Enter call number keyed in during call preparation
“.”	Control key function (up-circuit PBX)
“Z”	Activate/deactivate DTMF mode (tone dialling)
“R”	Use call number last dialled
“Y”	Clear down connection and reseize line

Table 5. Examples of how to formulation a function:
“IR”	Seize line (“I”), Dial last dialled call number (“R”)
“I201”	Seize line (“I”) and dial call number 201
“I*21201X”	Seize line (“I”), Activate call forwarding (“*21”) to call number 201, Clear down connection (“X”)

KT line

Table 6. KT line for MiVoice 5380 5380 IP, MiVoice 5370 / 5370\ IP, Office45/45 pro and Office35
Parameter	Explanation
Name	KT line key name
Personal line (S1, A1, ..)	If you set up a KT line key, your personal line is also stored on a configurable key. You can choose the key you want here.
Call distribution element	Connect the KT line key with the KT line you want. Each KT line belongs to a call distribution element with the KT call destination (or combinations of them)
Priority	A call distribution element with the destination KT line makes available several KT lines which are prioritised among each other. An incoming call is first presented on the KT line with priority 1. If it is busy, the call is sent to the next KT line with a lower priority level, etc. Link the KT key to a KT line with a specific priority level here and, thus, define the order of priority in which an incoming call will be offered.
Ring delay	Delay of acoustic signalling of incoming calls via this KT line key.
Melody	Ring melody for incoming calls via this KT line key.
Speed	Ring speed for incoming calls via this KT line key.
Incoming seize	Key: Take call with the line key. Handset: Take call by lifting the handset. Automatic hands-free: The call is automatically taken and the phone is in hands-free mode.
Incoming priority	This setting is relevant if you have configured several line keys, if you have chosen Handset or Automatic hands-free as seizure type, and if an incoming call is signalled on several line keys. You thus determine the line key that will be occupied if the user lifts the handset.
Outgoing barred	An outgoing call cannot be made with this KT line key. An outgoing call can be made directly via this KT line key (without dialling the exchange access prefix) if a route has been defined in the call distribution element in the key telephone section (KT route). If this is not the case, the KT line will respond like an ordinary internal line. This means the user has to dial an exchange access prefix to be able to dial out to the public network. The route is then determined by the Route setting in the user configuration.
Outgoing seize	Key: Seize this KT line by pressing the KT line key. Handset: Seize this KT line by lifting the handset.
Seize priority	This setting is relevant if you have configured several line keys and if you have chosen the seize type Handset or Automatic hands-free. You thus determine the line key that will be occupied if the user lifts the handset.
Call list:	Display incoming calls on the call list. Do not display incoming calls on the call list.
Terminating KT line	Only one line key can be connected to this KT line. Call forwarding is implemented on this key. Several line keys can be connected to this KT line. Call forwarding is not implemented on this key. Note: If the parameter Allow call forwarding on terminating KT lines of the assigned user is set, the call forwarding will be executed in any case.
Locked	Key cannot be configured on the phone.

Table 7. KT line with Mitel 6700 SIP / 6800 SIP
Parameter	Explanation
Line type	Personal line: Set this line so you can receive personal calls. KT line:When the line key is assigned to a call distribution element, the line key receives its own call number on which an external or internal call can take place. One or more phones can be connected to this KT line. Calls going out via this line key are routed via the route entered in the CDE configuration under Route.
Name	KT line key name
Line number	Assign the KT line key to a line number.
Call distribution element	Connect the KT line key with the KT line you want. Each KT line belongs to a call distribution element with the KT call destination (or combinations of them)
Priority	A call distribution element with the destination KT linemakes available several KT lines which are prioritised among each other. An incoming call is first presented on the KT line with priority 1. If it is busy, the call is sent to the next KT line with a lower priority level, etc. Link the KT key to a KT line with a specific priority level here and, thus, define the order of priority in which an incoming call will be offered.
Outgoing barred	An outgoing call cannot be made with this KT line key. An outgoing call can be made directly via this KT line key (without dialling the exchange access prefix) if a route has been defined in the call distribution element in the key telephone section (KT route). If this is not the case, the KT line will respond like an ordinary internal line. This means the user has to dial an exchange access prefix to be able to dial out to the public network. The route is then determined by the Route setting in the user configuration.
Call list:	Display incoming calls on the call list. Do not display incoming calls on the call list.
Melody	Ring melody for incoming calls via this KT line key. Global: Uses the ring melody set on the phone. Silence: Only optical signals, no acoustic ring signal. 1...x: Select one of the x ring melodies (x depends on terminal type).
Terminating KT line	Only one line key can be connected to this KT line. Call forwarding is implemented on this key. Several line keys can be connected to this KT line. Call forwarding is not implemented on this key. Note: If the parameter Allow call forwarding on terminating KT lines of the assigned user is set, the call forwarding will be executed in any case.
Locked	Key cannot be configured via Self Service Portal.

Busy lamp field

Table 8. Busy lamp field with Mitel 6800 SIP
Parameter	Explanation
Call number	Assign the busy lamp field key an internal call number from the list.
Name	Name of the busy lamp field key
Ring type	Silence: A call on this busy lamp field key is continuously but only optically signalled. Single ring: a call on this busy lamp field key is signalled both optically (continuously) and acoustically (with a single ring). Periodic ring: a call on this busy lamp field key is signalled both optically (continuously) and acoustically (with periodic ring).
Low volume	A call on this busy lamp field key is signalled with an attenuated ring, compared to the ring volume currently defined on the phone. The attenuation level can be configured with the parameter Busy lamp field: Ring attenuation for each phone. Note: Parameter is only displayed for Call type = Single ring.
Ring with delay	A call on this busy lamp field key is only acoustically signalled after a certain period of delay. The delay can be configured with the parameter Busy lamp field: Ring with delay for each phone. Note: Parameter is not displayed for Call type = Idle.
