Softkeys
Your 57i has 12 multi-functional softkeys:
• 6 Top Keys: programmable static softkeys
(up to 10 programmable functions)
• 6 Bottom Keys: programmable state-based softkeys
(up to 20 programmable functions).
Note: If 536 or 560 Expansion Module(s) are attached to the phone, click on
Operation->Expansion Keys to access and configure up to 36 softkeys on each
536EM and up to 60 softkeys on each 560EM. (Phone allows up to 3 expansion
modules totaling up to 108 additional softkeys on the 536EM and up to 180
softkeys on the 560EM). These keys allow you to configure BLF, Speeddial,
and Shared Call Appearance functions only. For more information about
expansion modules, see "Model 536 and 560 Expansion Modules"on page 119.

You can program these softkeys for call handling and extension
management of the SIP system. The softkey menus on the IP phone UI
change depending on the phone’s state, displaying relevant softkeys only.
Note: The softkey functions outlined in this section represent the default arrangement of softkeys on the 57i IP phone. Only the bottom softkeys are statebased.

The 57i default softkeys are shown in the following illustration.

Depending on how the phone has been configured, the maximum number
of total line/call appearances that can be set up is 8 or 9 (4 line/call
appearance as hard keys and 4 or 5 as softkeys). If all line/call appearances
have been set up for the same number, a total of 9 lines can be configured.
If all line/call appearances have been set up between two different
numbers, a total of 8 lines can be configured. This means that when all line/
call appearances are in use, 1 call is connected while the rest are on hold.
No further outgoing or incoming calls can be made until one of the line/call
appearances becomes available.
In active states, such as ringing, conference, connected, etc., all softkeys
disappear except softkeys that have been set up as line/call appearances,
and any context dependent softkeys required for the active state, such as
the Drop softkey in the connected state. Typically, context dependent
softkeys appear in the top left position and all line/call appearance softkeys
appear in the remaining positions.
Note: In some situations, such as during a conference call, the line/call appearance
softkeys may overwrite some of the context dependent soft keys. In this case,
instead of the Previous and Next softkeys, up or down icons,

Softkeys as Busy Lamp Field (BLF)
You can set a softkey to Busy Lamp Field (BLF).
The BLF feature on the IP phones allows a specific extension to be
monitored for state changes. BLF monitors the status (busy or idle) of
extensions on the IP phone.
Note: The BLF setting is applicable to the Asterisk server only.

Example
A Supervisor configures BLFs on his phone for monitoring the status of a
worker’s phone use (busy or idle). When the worker picks up his phone to
make a call, a busy indicator on the Supervisor’s phone shows that the
worker’s phone is in use and busy.
On the 57i, the busy and idle indicators show on the IP phone screen
display next to the softkey programmed for BLF functionality. When the
monitored user is idle, an icon with the handset on-hook shows next to the
BLF softkey. When the monitored user is on an active call, a small
telephone icon is shown with the handset off-hook.
Note: You can also use the BLF configured softkey to dial out. Contact your system
administrator for more information.

Softkeys as BLF List
(For use with the BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 13 or higher platform only)
You can set a softkey to BLF list.
The BLF list feature on the IP phones is specifically designed to support the
BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 13 Busy Lamp Field feature. This feature allows
the IP phone to subscribe to a list of monitored users defined through the
BroadWorks web portal.
Note: Your system administrator must have BLF List enabled on the BroadWorks
Server. Contact your system administrator for more information.

In addition to monitoring the idle and busy state, the BLF list feature also
supports the ringing state. When the monitored user is idle, there is a
small telephone icon shown with the handset on-hook. When the
monitored user is on an active call then a small telephone icon is shown
with the handset off-hook.
Note: You can also use a BLF/List configured key to dial out.

Example
A receptionist has a 57i running Broadsoft firmware that subscribes to a list
of extensions from the BroadWorks Application Server. On the 57i, the
softkey LEDs illuminate either flashing, solid, or turn off depending on the
state of those extensions.
Note: The Broadworks BLF feature is not the same as the Broadworks Shared Call
Appearance (SCA) feature and does not permit call control over the monitored extension.

Setting a BLF List Softkey
The BLF List functions can be configured on the 57i using the Aastra Web
UI only. If you set a softkey to use BLF/List, you must also enter a BLF List
URI at Operation->Softkeys and XML->Services. The BLF List URI is the
name of the BLF list defined on the BroadSoft BroadWorks Busy Lamp
field page for your particular user. For example, my480i-blflist@as.broadworks.com. The value of the BLF\List URI parameter must
match the list name configured. Otherwise, no values display on the 57i
screen and the feature is disabled.

Softkeys for Accessing XML Services
The 57i IP phone has a feature you can enable called "XML" (Extensible
Markup Language). XML is a markup language much like HTML. Your
system administrator can create customized XML menu services and load
them to your IP phone. These services include things like weather and
traffic reports, contact information, company info, stock quotes, or custom
call scripts.
Note: You can configure XML using the Aastra Web UI only.

On the 57i IP phone, you can access the XML applications from the IP
Phone UI in two ways:
• Via the "Services" menu
• Via an XML softkey
Note: The XML services must be set up by your system administrator before you can
use the key. Contact your system administrator for more information.

Static and Softkey Settings for Park/Pickup
The IP phone has a park and pickup call feature that allows you to park a
call and pickup a call when required. There are two ways a user can
configure this feature:
• Using a static configuration
• Using a programmable configuration (using softkeys)
Note: The IP phone accepts both methods of configuration. However, to avoid
redundancy, Aastra Telecom recommends you configure either a static configuration or a programmable configuration.

The IP phone supports the Park/Pickup feature on the Asterisk,
BroadWorks, Sylantro, and ININ PBX servers.
The following paragraphs describe the park and pickup methods of
configuration on the IP phones.

Park/Pickup Static Configuration
You can configure a static configuration for parking and picking up a call
using the Aastra Web UI at Basic Settings-> Preferences. By entering the
appropriate value in the "Park Call" and "Pickup Parked Call" fields, you
tell the phone where to park a live call and where to pickup the parked call.
On the IP phone UI, the static configuration method displays the following:
• When a call comes in, and you pickup the handset, the default label of
"Park" displays on the Phone UI.
• After pressing the "Park" softkey to park the call, the default label of
"Pickup" displays on the phone UI.

Note: On the 57i handset, pressing Ï displays the "Park" and "Pickup" labels.

The values you enter in the Aastra Web UI for the Park/Pickup call feature
are dependant on your type of server. The following table provides the
values you enter for the "Park Call" and "Pickup Parked Call" fields in the
Aastra Web UI.

Park/Pickup Softkey Configuration
The programmable method of configuration creates park and pickup
softkeys that you can configure on the 57i phone.
You can set a softkey as "Park" or "Pickup" and then:
• specify a customized label to display on the Phone UI
• specify a value
• specify which line to use
• specify the state of the park and/or pickup keys
On the IP phone UI, the Park/Pickup feature displays the following:
• When a call comes in, and you pickup the handset, the custom label that
you configured for the Park softkey displays on the Phone UI.
• After the call is parked, the label that you configured for the Pickup softkey displays on other phones in the network. You can then press the
"Pickup" softkey, followed by the applicable value to pickup the call on
another phone in your network.
You can configure a Park and Pickup programmable configuration using
the Aastra Web UI.

Softkey Configuration Using the Aastra Web UI
On the 57i, you configure a Park and/or Pickup key at Operation->Softkeys
and XML. You enter a key label, and value for a specific line on the phone.
The default state of the Park configuration is "connected". The default state
of the Pickup configuration is "idle, outgoing".

Softkeys as Last Call Return (lcr) (Sylantro Servers only)
Using the Aastra Web UI, you can configure the "Last call return" (lcr)
function on a softkey. This feature is for Sylantro servers only.

How it works
If you configure "lcr" on a softkey, and a call comes into your phone, after
you are finished with the call and hangup, you can press the key
configured for “lcr” and the phone dials the last call you received. When
you configure an “lcr” softkey, the label “LCR” displays next to that softkey
on the IP phone. When the Sylantro server detects an “lcr” request, it
translates this request and routes the call to the last caller.

Handling Calls

Transferring Calls
Blind Transfer
A blind transfer is when you transfer a call directly to another extension
without consulting with the person receiving the call. To do this, simply
complete the transfer immediately after you have entered the number. The
call goes directly to the extension or outside line you transferred to. If the
party you are transferring the call to does not answer, the transferred call
rings back to your extension.

Consultative Transfer
You also have the option to consult with the person you are transferring
the call to, before you complete the transfer. To do this, simply remain on
the line until the receiving party answers the call. After consulting with the
receiving party, you can either complete the transfer or cancel the transfer
to go back to the original call.

Display DTMF Digits
A feature on the 57i phone allows users to enable or disable DTMF (dualtone multi-frequency) digits to display to the IP phone when using the
keypad to dial, or when dialing from a softkey or programmable key.
DTMF is the signal sent from the phone to the network that you generate
when you press the phone’s touch keys. This is also known as “touchtone”
dialing. Each key you press on your phone generates two tones of specific
frequencies. One tone is generated from a high-frequency group of tones
and the other from a low frequency group.
If you enable the Display DTMF Digits parameter, the digits you are
dialing from the keypad or from a programmable key display to the IP
phone’s LCD display. This parameter is disabled by default (no digits
display when dialing).
You can enable the "Display DTMF Digits" parameter using the Aastra
Web UI.

Defining an Emergency Dial Plan
Public telephone networks in countries around the world have a single
emergency telephone number (emergency services number), that allows a
caller to contact local emergency services for assistance when required.
The emergency telephone number may differ from country to country. It is
typically a three-digit number so that it can be easily remembered and
dialed quickly. Some countries have a different emergency number for
each of the different emergency services.
You can specify the digits to dial on the IP phone for contacting emergency
services. Once you specify the emergency number(s) on the phone, you can
dial those numbers directly on the dial pad when required and the phone
automatically dials to those emergency services.
Note: Contact your local phone service provider for available emergency numbers in
your area.

The following table describes the default emergency numbers on the IP
phones.

Description

911

A United States emergency number

999

Setup” section in the Aastra 57i Installation Guide provided with your
phone.

Why doesn’t my phone ring?
Check the ring volume on your phone. It may be turned down or turned
off. To adjust the ringer volume setting, press the volume button when the
phone is on-hook and idle. For more information, refer to the “Adjusting
Volume section” in the Aastra 57i Installation Guide provided with your

Why is the light not coming on with a new Voice Mail Message?
Your phone system or service provider must provide “Visual” Message
Waiting service for this function to work. Check with your system
administrator for more information.

Why is my handset not working?
Check to ensure that the handset cord is fully connected to both the phone
and handset. See the section “Connecting a Handset or Headset” in the
