Entering and Saving Settings
The SPA-841 GUI allows the user to enter alphanumeric and numeric inputs will ease. The following data
types may be entered into the phone:
•
Numeric String, such as a phone number when dialing
•
Alphanumeric String, such a name when adding a Directory entry
•
IP Address, such as a DNS server IP address
•
Boolean (y/n), such as enabling or disabling DHCP
•
Option, such as selecting a preferred audio device or a ring tone
When any two or more of the numeric string, alphanumeric string, and IP address types can apply to an
entry, the phone will show a soft key for switching input modes among the applicable types. The soft keys
will change when pressed to allow the user to scroll through the available modes, such as SK(num)
Æ
SK(alpha)
Æ
SK(IP). The cursor will also change according to the following table, to remind the user
which input mode is being used:

When entering digits during numeric mode, just enter the corresponding digits from the key pad.
When entering letters or symbols during alphanumeric mode, the phone will show a template of 2 or more
choices of symbols as the user presses each digit key; the user can scroll through the choices by
pressing the same key multiple times. To accept a symbol as input, the user can a)stop pressing the digit
key for 1.5s, b)pressing another digit key, c)navigate to another input field (if applicable) by pressing the
UP/DOWN key, or d)save the value by pressing the proper soft key, such SK(save) or SK(ok)
When entering IP address, pressing the * digit will insert a dot (.), or a colon (:) if there are 3 dots entered
already.
When entering numeric, alphanumeric, or IP address values, the following additional soft keys will be
available for easier editing:
•
SK(<<) – Move cursor to the left by 1 character
•
SK(>>) – Move cursor to the right by 1 character
•
SK(erase<) – Erase the character to the left of the cursor
•
SK(clear) – Clear the entire entry
Note that SK(<<), SK(>>), SK(erase<), and the digit key presses will automatically repeat by keep
pressing the corresponding key down without releasing it. If input value is wider than what the LCD
display can show, the SPA-841 automatically scroll the input to the left so that the user can continue to
enter input. On the other hand, the SPA-841 will stop accepting further input for a give field if the
maximum allowed input length has been reached for that input field.
For Boolean input, the SPA-841 will show SK(y/n) pressing which will toggle the current input between
yes and no.
