thanks, tim

thanks, tim
 
Enhanced Phone Screen Display for 9630/9630G and 9640/9640G IP
Telephones
For the 9630/9630G/9640/9640G telephones, if the system parameter FBONCASCREEN has
value "1" the telephone determines the total number of call appearances (primary or bridged)
that have been administered for the telephone (plus any adjunct button modules, if applicable).
If the total number of call appearances is less than six, then all call appearances (primary or
bridged) that have been administered for the telephone (including any adjunct button modules,
if applicable) are displayed in order. The remaining Application Lines display the first
administered feature buttons for the telephone, in order from top to bottom without any gaps.
Note that this applies to administered feature buttons for the telephone only; administered
feature buttons for any adjunct button module are not displayed on this list.


So basically you have to add "SET FBONCASCREEN 1" to your 46xxsettings.txt file and you will see more than the call appearences on the first page. Doesn't work for 9620s though.
 
Ive tried the settings listed above and was able to get intercom button and other features to take up buttons 4,5, and 6 on my call display screen. The only issue is that the button does not take up the full line, it looks as though it is only set for a half screen disply. The White bar for the call appearances spans the screen from left to right. The white bar for the features only starts in the middle of the screen and goes to the right edge of the screen. Is there a setting to get this to span the full screen so the phone looks symmetrical on all lines?
 
On a side note, is there any way to program the feature buttons onto the white buttons along the bottom of the screen on the 9640 screen? Currently the redial and send all calls buttons take up the 1st two buttons and the 3rd and 4th are blank.

Yes. You can have some buttons appear on the lower set of softkeys.

You would make a change to the 46xxsettings.txt file to force them to appear on the lower set of softkeys.

The section you would modify is below:

The features are listed by code. You'll find them in this book starting on page 113.

I've set Idle Features to this in the 46xxx.settings file:

SET IDLEFEATURES "1000,35,34,335"

However, after I clear all values on the phone and after the reboot, the Idle screed STILL shows only one soft key with 'Redial' funcion.
The three other softkeys are still blank.

Any ideas as to why the phone doesn't pick up the changes?

 
HanSolo111,

You also need o programme feature button for a station in ASA.

you don't need to remove "" - it works on my sets.
 
Does anyone know if you can remove the Bridged appearances from the front screen?
If you have say 3 line appearances and 8 bridged appearances, the last 2 bridged appearances don't appear on the front screen anyway. If you dial one of the extensions at bridged appearance 7 or 8, the screen switches to say "Call for 1234" at the top and "Caller to called" at the bottom which notifies you, so there's no point having the bridged appearances to show unless you want to check if the bridged is on a call in which case you can navigate to the button.
This would free up 3 buttons to be programmed as something more usefull on the front screen.
Something like BRDGAPP=0 in the 46xxsettings.txt ?
 
On left "" should be removed, betwen codes features " can stay .. thats what I ment :)


 
Hi,

I would like to do the same thing for one of my clients and would like to explain to the engineer how to do this. however i'm not too familiar with the settings file although i have skimmed through it. Whereabouts in the settings file does the FBONCASCREEN have to be detailed so that we can make the first few feature buttons appear on the front screen?

Thanks Ash

FBONCASCREEN can be anywhere in the 46xxsettings, cut the settings file down to the specific settings you require and delete the rest so it's easier to manage.

Idle features codes are in the CM5.2 docs, the one below does "Directory, Next, Make Call, Redial"

##
SET IDLEFEATURES "26,13,16,1000"
##
SET FBONCASCREEN 1

Sorry to ask again,see previous post in this thread for detail:
