Linksys SPA9x2 Phone Administration Guide 72
Vertical Service Activation Codes (Star Codes)
Setting Regional Parameters
‘d‘ = Dial tone
‘m‘ = MWI dial tone
‘o‘ = Outside dial tone
‘p‘ = Prompt dial tone
‘s‘ = Second dial tone
‘x‘ = No tones are place, x is any digit not used above
If no tone parameter is specified, the SPA9x2 plays the prompt tone by default.
If the * code is not to be followed by a phone number, such as *73 to cancel call forwarding,
do not include it in this parameter. In that case, add that * code in the dial plan.
Using Star Codes to Activate/Deactivate Services
SPA9X2 phones accept star codes to activate or deactivate certain services on the phone.
To activate a star code, either off hook the phone and dial the * code or, if you do not know the
code, scroll through the LCD menu options to select the desired star code.
When off-hook dialing, the star code is processed by the phone as soon as it is entered. When
on-hook dialing, you can pre-dial multiple star codes before the target number. The star codes
are handled in the order they are entered, before the target number is dialed. Star codes can
also be included in a directory entry or redial list.
The following list briefly defines the supplementary services accessible with star codes (listed
on the web page):
Call Return (*69)—Calls the last caller, regardless which extension.
Call Back(*66)—Periodically redials the last busy number (every 30 seconds by default) until it rings
or until the attempt expires (30 min by default), regardless which extension. Only one call back
operation can be ordered at a time. A new order automatically cancels the previous order.
