							2-174Keyset Mode
Features and Operation
Keyset Mode
Description
The Keyset Mode feature (digital KTU only) allows the station user to determine the mode in 
which the Digital Telephone with CTI Box and Wanderer (optional) operates. The six modes 
are: Inactive mode, PC Phone mode, ATD Command mode, ATH Command mode, CKTU 
mode, and SPI mode. Through the use of a dial code, the station user can also determine the 
baud rate for each mode selected. This setting is stored in back-up memory in the event of a 
power outage or system reset.
The following Modes are described:

Inactive -- No CTI information is sent/received by the telephone.

PC Phone -- CTI information used with Vodavi Discovery Desktop and Discovery PC Phone 
software must be set to 4800 baud rate.

AT D -- This is the modem dialing command. The telephone recognizes the ATD and 
accepts digits after the command. This allows the PC connection to the telephone to use 
the AT Ringing command. (Available baud rates are: 1200, 2400, and 4800.)

ATH or ATHX (X = 0 or 1) -- This is the modem on hook/off hook command. ATH or ATH0 
forces the telephone to the on hook state from its current state. ATH1 forces the 
telephone to the off hook state from its current state.

CKTU -- Cordless Key Telephone Unit. This mode is used when the optional Wanderer is 
connected to the station. (Refer to the Wanderer User Guide for additional information.)

SPI -- Service Provider Interface. This mode is used in conjunction with TAPI applications 
such as Discovery Link.

TAPI -- For future use.
Use Flash 50 programming when you want to modify a range of stations’ attributes using 
fixed station numbers.
Use Flash 51 programming to modify a single station’s attributes using a flexible station 
number.
Programming Steps

							Last Number Redial2-177
Features and Operation
Last Number Redial
Description
The Last Number Redial (LNR) feature permits the automatic redialing of the last telephone 
number dialed on an outside line. Up to 24-digits can be stored. Outside line selection of the 
same line used is automatic.
Operation
To use Last Number Redial, either:
Press [SPEED], then press [#]. 
-or-
Use the Soft Key’s LNR option when in an idle condition.
The last number dialed over an outside line is automatically redialed.

The system automatically selects the original line used to place the call and redials 
the number.

If that line is busy, the system automatically selects another line from the same group 
and redials the number.

If no lines are available in the same group, the station receives busy tone and can 
queue for a line.

If the station user preselects a line before activating LNR, the preselection overrides 
the line that was used originally.

Description
The STS Digital Telephone provides you with a visual indication of call status and other 
information. Calls to and from other extensions, number dialed, line used, and Camp On are 
some of the items displayed. Table 2-16 on page 2-179 shows Non-Soft Key LCD displays 
based on the function performed.
The three Soft Keys provide an ability to access commonly used features without having to  
preprogram those functions on a flexible button or use fixed buttons. Soft Key use is in 
conjuction with the LCD interactive displays.
Non-Soft Key LCD Displays
Each display is arranged into upper and lower fields.

The upper field shows the current activity of the telephone.

The lower field is divided into two sections:
 -  The left section of the lower field shows either the date, speed bin number, connected 
intercom station, or outside line number.
 -  The right section of the lower field shows the current time or elapsed time on an 
outside call.
Soft Key LCD Displays
Soft Key functions and corresponding LCD displays vary, dependent upon the telephone 
operating mode, e.g., idle mode, during a conference, line ringing, active CO line call, 
intercom call to a busy station, or active intercom call.
When you use Soft Keys while in an idle mode, the following principles apply:
1. Press the right Soft Key to display the first two options.
2. Continue to press the right Soft Key to scroll through two additional options at a time 
until the desired option appears.
3. Press the left or center Soft Key located immediately below the desired option. Certain 
options require no further steps for activation, e.g., DND or Clear Forward options.
4. Dial appropriate digits as necessary to activate selected features, e.g., specific speed bin 
number for speed dialing or specific personal message number.
When you use Soft Keys while in a non-idle mode:
1. Press the right Soft Key. If options exist for the current mode of operation, the option(s) 
will appear on the LCD.
2. If more than two options exist, use the right Soft Key to scroll through additional options.
3. Press the left or center Soft Key located immediately below the desired option. Certain 
options require no further steps for activation.
4. Dial appropriate digits as necessary to activate selected features.
