Prolog information
Device Adapter phones, except for analog phones without display and several digital and UNIStim phones without display, show caller information and other data. A subset also provides soft keys, and a largely overlapping subset provides labels for the provisioned programmable buttons.
The display updates at various stages while the user is involved in calls. In particular, it changes when:
  • Making a basic call.
  • Receiving a basic call.
  • Receiving information about changes in the far end while making or receiving a basic call.
  • Answering a basic call.
  • Receiving an answer indication for a basic call.
  • Releasing a basic call.
  • Receiving the clearing from the other party releasing a basic call.
The topics above include:
  • Context-sensitive key access:
    • Idle call state.
    • Off hook call state.
    • Dialed call state.
    • Ringing remotely call state.
    • Ringing locally call state.
    • Active call state.
  • Time and date, call timer, and other similar set display features.
  • Display of calling or called numbers.
    • This includes not displaying the far end user information if the station is configured to not display caller information.
In addition, the following are also included in the station displays capable of them:
  • Labels for the fixed feature keys.
  • Message waiting key and indicator for voice mail.
