Disabling Softkeys
Sometimes a softkey feature will appear on the display and not be
available to the user. For example, the PkUp key appears on the display
but the Call Pick-Up feature is not available to the user. Other times a
user may prefer to have a hardkey and an LED indicator for a feature.
Many users prefer moving Call Forward to a hardkey.
NOTE: When a Call Appearance is programmed as a DSS/BLF,
the user cannot bridge onto an active call. The key no
longer operates as a Shared Call Appearance.
NOTE: Only Non-PrimCA keys can be programmed as a DSS key.
You must first change a PrimCA key to a General CA key.
