Configuring Softkeys

Softkey Display Behavior
On the 6867i IP phone, you can configure up to 20 (left) and 18 (bottom) functions on the softkeys. If you have no
softkeys configured on the IP phone, and you assign softkey functions to higher number keys in the Aastra Web UI, the
key functions automatically appear in the first available position on the LCD display.
For example, if left softkeys 1 through 20 are set to None, and you set the left softkey 12 as the following:
Type: Speed Dial
Label: Home
Value: 3456
after saving the settings, the “Home” label actually appears in position 1 of the LCD.
A softkey function of None does not display on the Home screen at all.
The following figures illustrate the above scenario (i.e. the configuration of left softkey 12) and how it is displayed on the
phone:

Line Key
Note:
Line functionality can only be programmed on the left softkeys.
You can set a softkey to act as a line/call appearance key on the 6867i. This key acts as a line that behaves the same as a
hard line key (L1 and L2). For more information about the behavior of Line keys, see “Line and Call Appearances” on
page 55.
Depending on how the phone has been configured, the maximum number of total line/call appearances that can be configured is 9 (2 line/call appearance hard keys plus 7 softkeys). 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.

Speed Dial Key
The normal function of the speed dial option allows you to dial a number quickly by pressing a key configured for speed
dialing. You can program the keys on the 6867i to speed dial outside numbers, dial directly to another person’s line or
extension, or quickly access features such as Caller ID (*69) and voicemail.
Note:
You can use a Speed Dial key while on an active call by placing the active call on hold first, and then pressing the speed
dial key.
You can create Speed Dial keys using any of the following methods:
• Using the Aastra Web UI at the paths:
– Operation > Softkeys and XML
– Operation > Expansion Module Keys
• Using the IP phone UI at the path Options > Dialpad > Speed Dial Edit
• By pressing and holding a softkey, dialpad key, or expansion module key.

Speed Dial Prefix
The speed dial feature also allows you to specify a preset string of numbers followed by a + that the phone dials automatically after pressing the speed dial key. You can use this feature for numbers that contain long prefixes.
For example, if you had the following speed dial configuration in the Aastra Web UI:
Key 1
Type: Speed Dial
Label: Europe Office
Value: 1234567+
Line: 2
Then, after you press key 1 on the phone, the prefix number displays on the phone screen. The phone proceeds to dial
the prefix number automatically and pauses for you to enter the remaining phone number using the dialpad on the
phone.
Use the following procedures to set speed dial on the 6867i IP phone.

Busy Lamp Field (BLF) Key
Notes:
• BLF functionality can only be programmed on the left softkeys.
• BLF feature availability is dependant on your call manager. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
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.
For example, a Supervisor configures BLFs on his phone for monitoring the status of a co-worker’s phone use (busy or
idle). If the co-worker’s phone is in an idle state, the BLF softkey on the Supervisor’s phone is green. If the co-worker is on
a call or when the co-worker picks up his phone to make a call, the BLF softkey on the Supervisor’s phone turns red, indicating that the worker’s phone is in use and busy. Additionally, the corresponding softkey LED illuminates to match the
monitored user’s state, either off (idle), or solid (busy).
Note:
You can also use a BLF-configured key to automatically dial the BLF-monitored extension. Contact your System Administrator for more information.

BLF/List Key
Notes:
• BLF/List functionality can only be programmed on the left softkeys.
• For use with the BroadSoft BroadWorks Release 13 or higher platform only. Your System Administrator must have
BLF/List enabled on the BroadWorks call manager. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
The BLF/List feature on the IP phones is specifically designed to support the BroadSoft BroadWorks Release 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.
In addition to monitoring the idle and busy state, the BLF/List feature also supports the ringing state. When the monitored
user is idle, the corresponding softkey is green. When the monitored user’s phone is ringing, the corresponding softkey
turns yellow. Finally, when the monitored user on an active call or is attempting to make a call, the corresponding softkey
turns red. Additionally, the corresponding softkey LED illuminates to match the monitored user’s state, either off (idle),
flashing (ringing), or solid (busy).
Notes:
• You can use a BLF/List-configured key to automatically dial out to the configured extension.
• 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.

Configuring a BLF/List Key Using the Aastra Web UI
If you set a key 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, sip:9@192.168.104.13. The value of the BLF List URI parameter must match the list name configured. Otherwise,

Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) Key (for Sylantro Call Managers)
Note:
ACD functionality can only be programmed on the left softkeys.
The 6867i and any attached expansion modules support Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) for Sylantro call managers. The
ACD feature allows the Sylantro call manager to distribute calls from a queue to registered IP phone users (agents).
To use the ACD feature on an IP phone, you must first configure an ACD softkey or expansion module key. When you want
to subscribe to a queue (in order to receive incoming calls), you press the ACD softkey and the IP phone UI prompts you to
log in.
Available/Unavailable is displayed indicating the current status of the IP phone (specifies if the IP phone user is available/unavailable to receive a call from the queue).
Additionally, the ACD softkey indicates your current ACD status turning from red (logged out) to yellow (logged in but
unavailable) to green (logged in and available), and the corresponding LED also changes as per the table below:
Status: Logged In and Available

Status: Logged In and Unavailable

Logged Out

Solid Red LED

Blinking Red LED

No LED

When you are on an active call, or you miss a call, the server automatically changes the phone’s status to unavailable. The
server updates its database with this new information and no longer distributes calls to the phone. The phone remains in
this unavailable state until:
• You make yourself available again by pressing the Avail softkey
• An ACD timer expires (set by your System Administrator)
You can also choose to manually change the phone status to unavailable by pressing the Unavail softkey on the phone.
Note:
It is recommended you configure no more than a single ACD softkey or expansion module key per IP phone.

BLF/Xfer
Note:
BLF/Xfer functionality can only be programmed on the left softkeys.
The BLF key allows one or more extensions to be monitored, and once there is any state change with those extensions,
the key shows the status of the monitored lines. The Transfer key allows a call to be transferred to other recipients
blindly or consultatively. The BLF/Xfer key combines the BLF and Transfer keys' functionality together allowing the user
to transfer calls or use BLF with one key.
Note:
It is recommended that you enable the Switch UI Focus to Ringing Line parameter when using the BLF/Xfer feature.
For more information about this parameter, see “Switch UI Focus to Ringing Line” on page 152.

BLF/Xfer Key Requirements and Functionality
• BLF/Xfer and BLF: A BLF/Xfer key can be configured for subscribing to an extension and monitor the status of the
extension, similar to the BLF key functionality. Changes of the state of the monitored extension are indicated by the
key’s graphical button image as well as the key’s LED.
• BLF/Xfer and Blind Transfer Calls: When the focused line is in the connected state, pressing the BLF/Xfer key transfers
the call to the extension unconditionally, disregarding the status of the monitored extension.
If transferring a call to an extension fails, a message Transfer Failed displays on the phone, and you can reconnect the
call (get the call back) by pressing the line key again.
• BLF/Xfer and Call Forward: When the focused line is in the ringing state, pressing the BLF/Xfer key forwards the call to
the extension unconditionally, disregarding the status of the monitored extension.
• BLF/Xfer and Speed Dial: When the focused line and the monitored extension are idle, pressing the BLF/Xfer key
causes the phone to go offhook and dial the number of the extension.

This section describes ways to make calls on your 6867i phone, using your handset, speakerphone or headset.

Dialing a Number
First, take the phone off-hook by:
• Lifting the handset
• Pressing

or

• Pressing a line/call appearance button
At the dial tone, enter the number you wish to call.
Note:
After dialing the number, the phone has a short delay before sending the call. To send the call immediately, you can
press the Dial softkey (if the handset is offhook) or the # key immediately after dialing the number. The phone sends
the call without delay.
If you are unable to make calls within certain area codes, check with your System Administrator for any toll restrictions
placed on your extension that may restrict your access to long distance area codes or dialing prefixes.
When your party picks up, a timer appears on your display that records the length of your call.
If the Live Dialpad option is on, as soon as you press the first digit on the dialpad the phone automatically selects the
next available line, goes off-hook, and dials as digits are pressed.

Pre-Dialing a Number
You can also make a call by pre-dialing a number. Pre-dialing lets you view a number before you dial.

With the phone in an idle state and on-hook, simply use the dialpad to enter the number you wish to call, and after
reviewing the number, press the Dial softkey. Use the Backspace softkey to correct any errors and the Pause softkey to
insert pauses.

DND and Call Forward
The 6867i has a feature that allows you to configure DND and Call Forward for multiple accounts on the phone. You can set
specific modes for the way you want the phone to handle DND and Call Forward. The three modes you can set on the
phone for these features are:
• Account
• Phone
• Custom
The following paragraphs describe account-based DND and Call Forward:
• DND Configuration
• Call Forward Configuration

DND Configuration
DND is a feature on the phone that prevents the phone from ringing and receiving incoming calls. When DND is enabled
with Call Forward, any incoming calls can be forwarded to your voicemail or another number. See “Call Forward Configuration” on page 141 for more information about call forwarding to other numbers.
On the 6867i, you can set DND on the phone-side for a specific account or for all accounts on the phone. You can set three
modes for DND using the Aastra Web UI at the path, Basic Settings > Preferences > General > DND Key Mode: Account, Phone
(default), and Custom. DND performs according to the mode you set.
You can then configure a DND key (for the phone or for an expansion module) using the Aastra Web UI at the path, Operation > Softkeys and XML or Operation > Expansion Module . You can toggle DND on and off by pressing the key, or by
setting DND for a specific account at the path, Basic Settings > Account Configuration. Once you enable DND, the
icon displays on screen for the applicable account.

Note:
If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the mode setting is ignored and the phone behaves as if the
mode was set to Phone.
The following describes the key behavior for each DND mode.
• Account: The DND key toggles the account in focus on the IP phone UI to on or off.
• Phone (default): The DND key toggles all accounts on the phone to on or off.
• Custom: The DND key displays custom screens on the IP phone UI. The user can select whether to enable/disable DND
per account, enable DND on all accounts, or disable DND on all accounts.

• Phone: The Phone mode allows you to set the same Call Forward configuration for all accounts (All, Busy, and/or No
Answer). When you configure the initial account, the phone applies the configuration to all other accounts. (In the Aastra Web UI, only the account you configured is enabled. All other accounts are greyed out but set to the same configuration.) Using the Aastra Web UI, if you make changes to that initial account, the changes apply to all accounts on the
phone.
• Custom: The Custom mode allows you to configure Call Forward for a specific account or all accounts. You can configure
a specific mode (All, Busy, and/or No Answer) for each account independently or all accounts. On the 6867i, you can set
all accounts to All On, All Off, or copy the configuration for the account in focus to all other accounts using a CopytoAll
softkey.
Note:
If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the mode setting is ignored and the phone behaves as if the

4. Click on Basic Settings > Account Configuration.

The illustration above shows 2 accounts configured on the phone. Accounts must be set up by your System Administrator.
5. For each account, enable the Call Forward state by placing a check mark in one or more of the following State fields:
• All
• Busy
• No Answer
The All option forwards all incoming calls for this account to the specified phone number regardless of the state of
the phone. The phone can be in the Busy or No Answer states, or can be in the idle state. The phone still forwards all
calls to the specified number.
The Busy option call forwards incoming calls only if the account is in the busy state. The calls are forwarded to the
specified phone number.
The No Answer option call forwards incoming calls only if the account rings but is not answered in the defined number
of rings. The call gets forwarded to the specified number.
Notes:
You can use the Busy and No Answer states together using different forwarding phone numbers. If these states are
enabled for an account (the All state is disabled), and the phone is in the busy state when a call comes in, the phone
can forward the call to the specified phone number (for example, voicemail). If there is no answer on the phone after
the specified number of rings, the phone can forward the call to a different specified number, such as a cell phone
number.
6. For each account, in the Value field, enter the phone number for which you want the incoming calls to forward to if
the phone is in the specified state.
If using the Account mode or Custom mode, you can enter different phone numbers for each account.
Notes:
• If you selected Account mode in Step 5, you can enable/disable each account or all accounts as applicable. You
can enter different phone number for each enabled state.
• If you selected Custom mode, you can enable/disable each account or all accounts as applicable. You can enter
different phone numbers for each enabled state.
• If you selected Phone mode, all accounts are set to the same Call Forward configuration (All, Busy, and/or No
Answer) as Account 1 on the phone. In the Aastra Web UI, only Account 1 is enabled. All other accounts are greyed
out but use the same configuration as Account 1.
• Using the Aastra Web UI, if you make changes to Account 1, the changes apply to all accounts on the phone. Using
the IP phone UI, if you make changes to any other account other then Account 1, the changes also apply to all
accounts on the phone. When enabling a Call Forward state, you must specify a phone number for the phone to
Call Forward to. The number you specify applies to all accounts of the same mode.
• Number and name of accounts that display to this screen are dependant on the number and name of accounts
configured on the phone. The name for the account is specified by your System Administrator. Contact your System
Administrator for more information.

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 dialpad or softkey 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.

Call Hold Reminder During Active Calls
The IP phones allow you to enable or disable the ability for the phone to initiate a continuous reminder tone on the active
call when another call is on hold. For example, when this feature is enabled, and the call on Line 1 is on hold, and then the
you answer a call on Line 2 and stay on that line, a reminder tone is played in the active audio path on Line 2 to remind you
that there is still a call on hold on Line 1.
When this feature is disabled, a ring splash is heard when the active call hangs up and there is still a call on hold.
You can enable or disable this feature using the Call Hold Reminder During Active Calls parameter in the Aastra Web UI.

Additional Features

Incoming Intercom Call Features
By default, the IP phone allows incoming intercom calls to be automatically answered without having to set up an Icom
key on your phone. The phone automatically plays a warning tone when it receives an incoming intercom call. It also
mutes the microphone. If the intercom call comes into the phone while an active call is already present, the phone puts
the active call on hold and answers the intercom call.
You can change the behavior of how the phone handles incoming intercom calls by enabling/disabling the following
parameters using the Aastra Web UI:
• Auto Answer
• Microphone Mute
• Play Warning Tone
• Allow Barge In

Auto-Answer/Play Warning Tone
The auto-answer feature on the IP phone allows you to enable or disable automatic answering for an Intercom call. If
Auto-Answer is enabled, the phone automatically answers an incoming intercom call. If Play Warning Tone is also enabled, the phone plays a tone to alert you before answering the intercom call. If Auto-Answer is disabled, the phone
treats the incoming intercom call as a normal call. Auto-Answer and Play Warning Tone are enabled by default.
Note:
Your Administrator can set a time period delay before the phone automatically answers. Contact your System Administrator for more information.

Microphone Mute
You can mute or unmute the microphone on the IP phone for intercom calls made by the originating caller. If you want
to mute the intercom call, you enable this feature. If you want to unmute (or hear the intercom call), you disable this feature. Microphone Mute is enabled by default.

Allow Barge In
You can configure whether or not the IP phone allows an incoming intercom call to interrupt an active call. The Allow
Barge In parameter controls this feature. When you enable the this parameter, which is the default value, an incoming
intercom call takes precedence over any active call, by placing the active call on hold and automatically answering the
intercom call. When you disable this parameter, and there is an active call, the phone treats an incoming intercom call
like a normal call and plays the call warning tone. Allow Barge In is enabled by default.

Additional Features

Group RTP Paging
You can configure the phone to allow it to receive a Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP) stream from pre-configured multicast address(es) without involving SIP signalling. This is called Group Paging on the IP phones. You can specify up to 5
multicast addresses that the phone listens for on the network. This feature is configurable using the Aastra Web UI only.
The 6867i in the local network listens for RTP on the pre-configured multicast address. The Phone displays the Paging
message to the phone’s LCD. It uses the G711 uLaw CODEC for multicast RTP.
The recipient can drop the incoming page if required. The recipient can also set DND to ignore any incoming pages.
For incoming RTP multicasts, the ringing display is dependant on the setting for the Allow Barge In parameter (see
“Allow Barge In” on page 158). If this parameter is disabled, and there is no other call on the phone, then the paging is
automatically played via the default audio device.
If there is an existing call on the phone, the call initially displays in the ringing state. The user has the option to
accept/ignore the call. If the Allow Barge In parameter is enabled, the RTP multicast call barges in, and any existing calls
are put on hold.
If an RTP multicast session already exists on the phone, and the phone receives another incoming RTP multicast session,
the priority is given to the first multicast session and the second multicast session is ignored. The behavior for the incoming calls in this case is also based on the setting for the Allow Barge In parameter. The incoming call is handled as if there
were an existing call already on the phone.

Configuring Group RTP Paging
Aastra Web UI
1. Click on Basic Settings > Preferences > Group Paging RTP Settings.

2. In the Paging Listen Addresses text box, enter the multicast IP address(es) and port number on which the phone
listens for incoming multicast RTP packets.
Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format.
(for example, 239.0.1.15:10000,239.0.1.20:15000)
You can enter up to 5 listening multicast addresses.
If this field is blank, the paging listening capability is disabled on the phone.
Notes:
• Recipient of a paging call can set a global DND to ignore any incoming pages.
• For incoming paging, the phone uses the Intercom configuration settings. The incoming page is dependant on
the Allow Barge In parameter setting and the idling/on call state.
3. Click Save Settings.

41-001524-00 REV00 – 04.2014

Additional Features

Shared Call Appearance (SCA) Call Bridging
Shared Call Appearance (SCA) is when incoming calls are presented to multiple phones simultaneously. For example, it is
the ability to assign the boss' extension to a button on the secretary's phone. Calls can be transferred between two phones
with the same extension button by simply putting the call on hold at one phone and picking it up on the other. Status
LEDs light and flash in unison, allowing all people sharing the extension to see the status at a glance.
The phones include an enhanced SCA for the call managers that support call bridging and allows two or more SCA users
to be connected in a call with a third party.
Refer to the following example.
SCA phone 1 answers.
When 2 and 3 pickup,
1 can hang up.
Phone A calls the SCA number
and all the phones in the SCA
environment ring.

Note: A user can place a call on hold while in an SCA bridged call, by pressing the SCA line key.

SCA phone 2 joins by
pressing SCA line. When
phone 1 hangs up, 2 is still
connected. Phone 2 can
press the line key to
put SCA call on hold
leaving 3 still connected
to 1.
SCA phone 3 joins by
pressing SCA line. When
phone 1 hangs up, 3 is still
connected. Phone 3 can
press the line key to
put SCA call on hold
leaving 2 still connected
to 1.

Using the example above, when a call comes into Phone 1, Phone 2 and Phone 3 can pickup the same call by pressing the
SCA line key. Phone 2 and 3 display the call they are bridging into on the LCD of the phones. Existing SCA parties in a
bridge or one-to-one call hear an audible beep when another party has joined the call.
Note:
Your Administrator must enable/disable the beep on the server-side.
If a phone is configured for SCA bridging and it attempts to join a call, but the account on the server does not have this
functionality enabled, an error message displays to the LCD on the phone.
The SCA call bridging feature is disabled by default on all phones. Your Administrator can enable/disable this feature if
required. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
Keys States and LED/Button Behavior
There are two call states on the phones that support SCA bridging:
• Bridge-active - A bridged call is in progress
• Bridge-held - The 3rd-party (i.e., non-SCA party) in the bridge is on hold.
The following tables provide the key states and LED/image behavior in an SCA bridge call for users involved in an SCA call
(local) and users not involved in the SCA call (remote).
