Feature Keys
A feature key on the phone is one that can be configured to perform one of many different predefined functions, with a
corresponding multicolor LED that shows the status of the assigned function instance. There are many feature keys on a
OBi1000 series phone; the (Virtual) Line Keys, the Programmable Keys,
and the Side Car Keys are all feature keys that
may be configured in similar ways. Each feature key may be configured by the phone administrator to perform on of
the following functions:

Description

Call Appearance
Make or receive one call, and the key is known as a
Call Key
in this case. You
must have an unused (i.e. idle) call key available in order to make or receive a
new call. The phone administrator should allocate as many call keys on the
phone as the maximum number of concurrent calls it is expected to handle.
The VLKW (Virtual Line Key Window) shows nothing but the idle phone icon
(shown on the right column) when no active call is assigned to the key.
Otherwise the icon changes to reflect the current call state (Call States and Call
State Icons are described in the Section
Making and Receiving Calls
and VLKW
shows more information about the call, such as the call peer’s name and
number, if available. VLKW may also change its background color to further
reflect the current state.
A Call Key may be bound to a voice service and is called a bound call key in that
case (otherwise it is known as an unbound call key). A bound call key is used to
make/received on the bound voice service only; this is one of the ways for a
user to select a specific line to make a call.
A call key may be bound to a service that is a Shared line. In that case when no
call is on that key, the VLKW information reflects the state of the respective
Share Call Appearance (SCA). See the section
Shared line and Share Call
Appearances
for more details on this topic.
