The telephony keypad key sequence parameters are described in the table below.

Telephone Keypad Key Sequence Parameters

Parameter

Description

'Call Pickup Key'

configure voip > sip-definition settings > call-pickup-key

[KeyCallPickup]

Defines the key sequence on the phone's keypad for performing a call pick-up. Call pick-up allows the FXS endpoint to answer another telephone's incoming call by pressing this user-defined sequence of digits. When the user dials these digits (e.g., #77), incoming calls from another phone is forwarded to the user's phone.

The valid value is a string of up to 15 characters (0-9, #, and *). By default, no value is defined.

Note:

Call pick-up is configured only for FXS endpoints pertaining to the same Trunk Group.
The parameter is applicable only to FXS interfaces.

configure voip > gateway analog keypad-features key-port-configure

[KeyPortConfigure]

Defines the key sequence on the phone's keypad for configuring a phone number for the FXS phone that is connected to the device's FXS port.

To configure the phone number:

1. Press the keys on the keypad to enter the configured key sequence.
2. Press the keys on the keypad to enter the phone number.
3. Press the number sign key (#) to complete configuration.

For example, if you configured the parameter to "*81" and you want the phone number to be 9764004, press the following keys on the keypad: *819764004#.

To delete the phone number, simply press the configured key sequence with the # key at the end (e.g., *81#).

The valid value is a string of up to 16 characters. By default, no value is defined.

Note:

You must assign the FXS port to a Trunk Group (in the Trunk Groups table) that is dedicated only to this port. The Trunk Group can be configured with or without a phone number, which you can change or delete by using this parameter.
The parameter is applicable only to FXS interfaces.

configure voip > gateway analog fxs-setting > prefix-to-ext-line

[Prefix2ExtLine]

Defines a prefix (e.g., digit 9 dialed for an external line) that when dialed, the device plays a secondary dial tone (i.e., stutter tone) to the FXS line and then starts collecting the subsequently dialed digits from the FXS line.

The valid value is a string of up to three characters, which can include digits (0-9), #, and * (e.g., *72). By default, no value is defined.

Note:

You can enable the device to add this string as the prefix to the collected (and sent) digits, using the [AddPrefix2ExtLine] parameter.
The parameter is applicable only to FXS interfaces.

configure voip > gateway manipulation settings > prefix-2-ext-line

[AddPrefix2ExtLine]

Enables the device to add the prefix string for accessing an external line (configured by the [Prefix2ExtLine] parameter) to the dialed (called) number as the prefix, which is sent to the IP destination (for Tel-to-IP calls).

[0] = (Default) Disabled - the device doesn't add the prefix string for accessing the external line to the collected and sent dialed number. For example, if you configure the [Prefix2ExtLine] parameter to “9” and the FXS endpoint makes a call to destination number "123", the device collects and sends only the destination number digits "123" (i.e., without the prefix string) to the IP destination.
[1] = Enables the device to add the prefix string for accessing the external line to the dialed number as the prefix, which is sent to the IP destination. For example, if you configure the [Prefix2ExtLine] parameter to “9” and the FXS endpoint makes a call to destination number "123", the device collects and sends all the dialed digits, including the prefix string "9", as "9123" to the IP destination.
[2] = Same as option [1], but in addition, the device uses the prefix string for accessing the external line as the first digit in configured patterns of Digit Maps and/or Dial Plans. This option is useful in that it allows you to configure separate patterns for internal and external dialing. For example, if you configure the [Prefix2ExtLine] parameter to “9” and configure digit map patterns “2xxx|92xxxxxxx”, the device considers dialed numbers between 2000 and 2999 (2xxx) as internal extensions (i.e., when "9" is not dialed for an external line), and if the first dialed digit (prefix) is “9” (for accessing the external line), considers dialed numbers between 20000000 and 29999999 (92xxxxxxx) as external numbers.

Note:

The parameter is applicable only to FXS interfaces.
The parameter is applicable only to Tel-to-IP calls.

Hook Flash Parameters

'Flash Keys Sequence Style'

configure voip > gateway dtmf-supp-service supp-service-settings > flash-key-seq-style

[FlashKeysSequenceStyle]

Defines the hook-flash key sequence for FXS interfaces.

[0] Flash hook = (Default) Only the phone's flash button is used for the following scenarios:
During an existing call, if the user presses the flash button, the call is put on hold. A dial tone is heard and the user can then make a second call. Once the second call is established, on-hooking transfers the first (held) call to the second call.
During an existing call, if there is a second incoming call, pressing the flash button places the existing call on hold and answers the waiting call. Pressing flash again toggles between these two calls.
[1] Sequence 1 = Sequence of flash button with a digit:
Flash + 1: Holds a call or toggles between two existing calls
Flash + 2: Makes a call transfer.
Flash + 3: Makes a three-way conference call if the three-way conferencing is enabled (i.e., the [Enable3WayConference] parameter is configured to 1 and [3WayConferenceMode] to 2).
[2] Sequence 2 = Sequence of flash button with a digit:
Flash only: Places the call on hold.
Flash + 1:
When the device handles two calls (an active and a held call) and this key sequence is pressed, it sends a SIP BYE message to the active call, and the previously held call becomes the active call.
When there is an active call and an incoming waiting call, if this key sequence is pressed, the device disconnects the active call and the waiting call becomes the active call.
Flash + 2: Places a call on hold and answers a call-waiting call, or toggles between active and on-hold calls.
Flash + 3: Makes a three-way conference call. This is applicable only if the [Enable3WayConference] parameter is configured to 1 and [3WayConferenceMode] to 2. Note that the device ignores the setting of the [ConferenceCode] parameter.
Flash + 4: Makes a call transfer.

Note: The parameter is applicable only to FXS interfaces.

'Flash Keys Sequence Timeout'

flash-key-seq-tmout

[FlashKeysSequenceTimeout]

Defines the flash keys sequence timeout (in msec) that the device waits for digits after the user presses the flash button (flash hook + digit - when the [FlashKeysSequenceStyle] parameter is configured to 1 or 2).

The valid range is 100 to 5,000. The default is 2,000.
