Enhanced telephone display

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2012 |

With enhanced telephone display, you can choose the types of characters your telephone displays. You can choose standard Roman characters, or Cyrillic, Katakana, or Ukrainian characters. Your Avaya representative sets the character type on the System Parameters Country-Options screen. The character set that you can display also depends on the telephones that your company uses.

You can choose one of the following character sets for messages on your display telephones:

  • Cyrillic contains the characters that are required to display the Russian language. The system displays all Russian characters in uppercase letters.

  • Katakana contains the characters that are required to display the Japanese language, and as some European characters and other symbols. The system displays all Japanese characters in uppercase letters.

  • Roman contains two character sets:

    • US English contains the Roman alphabet, and the numerals and the special characters that are standard on the US English keyboard. The system displays US English characters in uppercase and lowercase letters.

    • European contains characters for many European languages. The system displays all European characters in uppercase letters.

  • Ukrainian contains the characters that are required to display the Ukrainian language. The system displays all Ukrainian characters in uppercase letters.

The type of telephones that your company uses must support the characters that you want to display. Each character set requires specific firmware in the telephone. Ensure that you use telephones with the same firmware type across your entire system. If you do not use telephones with the same firmware type across your entire system, the displays do not appear as expected. Your Avaya representative can ensure that you have the correct telephone types for the characters that you want to display.

This section shows the English, the French, Italian, and Spanish message for each feature. When time is displayed, the English language uses the abbreviations AM and PM. All other languages use 24-hour time.
