Call Soft Keys

Last Updated : Nov 11, 2021 |

The functions performed by the buttons just below the display change dynamically. Each buttons current function is shown by the label (if any) above it on the display.

Note that the soft keys only relate to the call represented by the currently highlighted call. That does not necessarily have to be the connected call.

You can use the up and down cursor keys to change which call is currently highlighted and has its call details displayed without interrupting the connected call. This allows you to access the soft key options for that other call

The following are some of the common soft key options. Note that some soft key options are only be available if enabled by your system administrator.
