Lock Keypad

  • If you wish to have the phone go into lockout mode where a pin has to be entered to use the phone after a certain idle period please follow the information below.
     

  • The lock out settings at this time can only be changed from the Base File editor in EPM.  Please review this wiki on how to use the Base File editor for Sangoma Phones.   

  • The Pcodes that you will want to change for the lock feature are defined here.

 

  • P8630

  • EPM Default Value: 0

  • Description: Phone Lock.Keypad Lock.0 - Disabled, 1 - All Keys, 2 - Menu Key 3 - Function Keys, 4 - Answer All Only

 

  • P5730

  • EPM Default Value: 

  • Description: Phone Lock.Phone Unlock Pin(0~15digits)

 

  • P5731

  • EPM Default Value: 

  • Description: Phone Lock.Auto Lock Time-Out(0~3600seconds)

 

  • P5732

  • EPM Default Value: 

  • Description: Phone Lock.Emergency
     

  • Example of a setup would be we want to lock the phone out from any use at all if we have been idle for more then 60 seconds and require a pin of 1234 to be entered to use the phone again unless the user is dialing 911 for emergency we do not want a pin code be required for that.

    • P8630 we will set to 1 to have it lock out all keys on the phone.

    • P5730 would be set to 1234 as the pin to unlock the phone

    • P5731 would be set to 60 to have it enable the lock on the phone 60 seconds after no use on the phone.

    • P5732 would be set to 911 which says lock everything out unless the user enters 911 to call emergency allow that call out without a pin.
       

  • Now when we go to use the phone after its been idle for 60 seconds it will require us to enter the pin and press the Enter key to use the phone.
