M3904 feature key labels

[M4rkG]

Is there any way to remotely change feature key labels from an 81c on M3904 sets instead of at the phone itself?

 

[MagnaRGP]

Nope. Set based only.

Let me ask this question then. If I program a key with a two way hot dial, is there any way to have the key show anything other than "HOTLINE"?

You can program any name you want on the Key.

I apologize, but I realized that I have asked the wrong question. Allow me to explain the situation a moment:
We have 20 3904 sets each with two kba's. In resolution to a number of problems, we have moved six of the hot dial numbers off of the kba's, and into keys 6 through 11. When you look at the 3904 set, the display shows "HOTLINE" for each of the six lines. I understand that I can change the feature key label at the set, and also how to do it. Unfortunately, these phones are used between two systems, so when the phone is disconnected from one system, and put onto the other (by pulling the phone cord out of one jack, and inserting it into the other jack), the feature key label programming is reset. My question is how can I change the key label (via switch programming) to something other than "HOTLINE". As (in this area) these are inbound only lines, I have already considered the option of setting them as SCR - but this is not possible as the DN is already used in other areas as HOT DIAL.
