Digium Phone Settings

Line Label

This is the label that is displayed on your phone's Line Key for this extension. By default, you will see variables used for your Line Label. You can enter a different, specific label, or use the variables to described what the label should be. Variables are useful for the Switchvox administrator to create multiple extensions, but are less useful to you when deciding what you want your own Line Label to look like.

Msgs Button Action

This is the action that happens when the Msgs button is pressed. Use Open Visual Voicemail to use the phone Voicemail application to navigate via the phone display, or use Dial Voicemail Extension to call the voicemail-system extension (default extension number 899) and navigate via sound prompts.

Idle Screen Image

This is the image that displays on the phone's idle screen.

Display Missed Calls Notification

If this is YES, a Missed Calls notification is displayed in the top-left corner of the phone display. If this is changed on the phone itself using Preferences, then you will no longer be able to change it here in the web-based suite.

Brightness and Contrast

These control the phone display. If this is changed on the phone itself using Preferences, then you will no longer be able to change it here in the web-based suite.

Backlight Dimming

If this is YES, the phone's backlight will dim to the specified level after the phone is not in use for the specified number of seconds. If this is changed on the phone itself using Preferences, then you will no longer be able to change it here in the web-based suite.

Default Ringtone

This is the ringtone used for incoming calls (unless the extension-owner has set up one or more Ring Rules). If this is changed on the phone itself using Preferences, then you will no longer be able to change it here in the web-based suite.

Reset Volume Every Call

If this is YES, the call volume will be reset to the default after each call. The volume can be changed during the call, using the volume bar. If this is changed on the phone itself using Preferences, then you will no longer be able to change it here in the web-based suite.

Headset Answer

If this is YES, when the user presses the Answer sofkey during an incoming call, the call is answered on the headset, not the speaker.

This setting should not be confused with the Auto-answer Switchboard initiated calls feature under the Common Settings tab. If this is changed on the phone itself using Preferences, then you will no longer be able to change it here in the web-based suite.

Electronic Hook Switch

If you select Jabra IQ, the Jabra headset must be set to IQ mode. If the Jabra headset does not support Jabra IQ, you may need to update the firmware on the headset. See the manufacturer's documentation.

Auto-answer Switchboard initiated calls

This sets your phone to automatically answer Switchboard-initiated calls. If you click on a Switchboard phonebook entry, normally your phone rings and you have to pick it up, then Switchvox dials the number for that entry. If this box is checked, your phone rings and then automatically goes to Intercom mode and answers the Switchboard, and you hear the phone ringing for the call to your phonebook entry.
