AastraLink Pro 160 IP Phone User Guide
The softkeys that appear on your IP phone are the default softkeys assigned by
your system administrator. You use the Web UI to customize — or reprogram —
the softkeys for your Aastra IP phone according to your specific needs.
Using the AastraLink Web UI Softkeys menu, you can:
• Add new softkeys
• Delete softkeys
• Edit a default softkey so it performs a different function. For example, you
may wish to change a Call Forward softkey to a Speedial softkey.
On some model Aastra IP phones, certain softkeys are reserved and cannot be
changed. For example, on the Model 33i, the first four softkeys are
preprogrammed as follows: Options, Directory, Save, Delete.The last softkey is
preprogrammed as Mute. These softkeys cannot be edited or deleted.
Softkeys that are designated as empty are available to configure, but currently
have no function associated with them.
If you are using an IP phone with an expansion module attached, you can use the
Web UI to configure softkeys on the expansion module as well. In addition, the
Web UI gives you the option to download the corporate directory in order to
quickly configure speeddial softkeys for the contacts listed in the directory.
Softkey Types
There are 15 different types of softkeys (plus two Operator softkeys) available for
you to configure on your IP phone. Each softkey type performs a different
function.
On the AastraLink Web UI, softkeys are organized by type into these three
categories:
• Call Settings Softkeys - used to specify how inbound/outbound calls are
handled. For example, Do Not Disturb or Call Forwarding.
• Applications Softkeys- used to access applications (Voicemail) or other
phone menus (the Services list).
• Operator Softkeys- used to define Operator status and schedules. (These
keys display only if you are the designated Operator.)
