Chapter 8: Administering Applications and Options


Customizing 9600 Series IP Telephone Applications and Options

The 9600 Series IP Telephones have some unique and powerful capabilities that take advantage of their display and access to LAN facilities. If your LAN has a WML Web site, the telephone needs key information about the servers providing those facilities. You need to provide the information called for in relevant sections of Table 11 in a customized script file. For more information, see 9600 Series IP Telephone Scripts and Application Files.

CAUTION: For the telephones to work properly, you must have a 46xxsettings.txt file in the same directory as the application file. If you do not edit the 46xxsettings.txt file, those telephones use default settings only. The 46xxsettings file is available as a standalone download. If you already have such a file because you downloaded it for a previous 9600 Series or 4600 Series IP Telephone release, installing the standalone file overwrites the original file.

NOTE: To facilitate administration, the 9600 Series and 4600 Series IP Telephones use the same 46xxsettings.txt file.

In Table 11, parameters shown with a Mandatory status must be accurate and non-null for the application to work. You can change parameters with an Optional status to suit your environment. If you do not change parameters, the defaults are used.

Table 11:  9600 Series IP Telephone Customizable System Parameters  
Parameter Name
Default Value
Status
Description and Value Range
General User Parameters:
APPSTAT
1
Optional
Applications status flag. See The Application Status Flag (APPSTAT) for a description. See Table 12 for the range of values.
OPSTAT
111
Optional
Options status flag(s) (1 or 3 ASCII numeric digits) indicate which options are user-selectable. The default of 111 grants access to all options and related applications.
Single digit valid values are:
1=user can access all options, including Logout,
2= user can access only view-oriented applications.

Three-digit valid values are a concatenation of binary values, in the form abc, where each letter represents a 0 (disabled/off) or 1 (enabled/on), interpreted as:
a = base settings for all user options and related applications, except as noted in b or c.
b = setting for view-oriented applications (for example, the Network Information application), as applicable.
c = setting for Logout application, if applicable.
The binary "0" does not allow an end user to see or invoke options and related applications. The binary "1" allows full display and access to all options and related applications.
