Telephone feature buttons table

Last Updated : Oct 07, 2026 |
Prolog information
The following table provides descriptions of the feature buttons that you can administer on multi-appearance telephones. It also lists the administrable software names and recommended button label names. Display buttons support telephones equipped with alphanumeric displays. Note that some buttons might require 1-lamp or 2-lamp buttons. Some buttons are not allowed on some systems and on some telephones.
Note:
An NI-BRI telephone with Communication Manager has only the Conference, Transfer, Hold, and Drop feature buttons, none of which require administration. On an NI-BRI telephone, you might assign additional feature buttons only as call appearances. As a result, NI-BRI telephone users must access all other features of Communication Manager using feature access codes.
Additionally, the number of call appearance buttons administered in Communication Manager must match the number of call appearances programmed on the telephone. By default, the number of call appearance buttons administered in Communication Manager is three.
Note that Communication Manager does not support bridged call appearances for NI-BRI telephones.

share-talk
Share Talk
Share Talk: Enables multiple DCP or H323 IP endpoints that are registered to the same extension to share talk capability. Normally, when more than one endpoint requests RTP (Real Time Transfer Protocol) media, only one of the endpoints (Base Set) is capable of talking and listening, while the other endpoints are connected in listen-only mode. This button allows all the endpoints that are associated with the extension to share the talk capability. Note that in Communication Manager 5.0, only AE Server DMCC (Device, Media, and Call Control) endpoints are capable of requesting RTP while they are sharing control of the extension. For more information on DMCC, see Avaya MultiVantage® Application Enablement Services Administration and Maintenance Guide.

sip-sobsrv
Service Observing
This feature provides an opportunity for training and quality control in call centers. The observer connects to a call between an agent and a customer. Once an audio connection is established, the observer hears the conversation and can have the ability to talk.
From Release 8.1.3 onwards, Communication Manager supports the sip-sobsrv button for J169 and J179 SIP stations. If the station type is J169 or J179, Listen-Only is the only button option available. For all CC station types such as J169CC and 9621SIPCC, Listen-Only and Coach button options are available.
From Release 10.1.0.2 onwards, Communication Manager supports the sip-sobsrv feature button to coach agents from the Call Center Elite and Unified Communications SIP devices.
From Release 10.2 onwards, Communication Manager supports J139, J159, J189, and J189CC under AvyaSIP and AvyaSIPCC set types.
Following three modes can be used by the observer:
  • Listening mode: Here, the observer is only allowed to hear. Other participants (agent and customer) do not notice that their conversation is being monitored.
  • Talk mode: Here, the observer has bi-directional voice path. This mode is useful when the observer wants to join the conversation. All agents, customers, and observers hear each other. Talk and Coaching modes are useful for training.
  • Coach mode: Here, the observer can privately instruct the agent without the customer hearing the conversation.
