You can configure Label values for the PHONEKEY parameter using the Avaya Aura® System Manager, web user interface or 46xxsettings.txt file.
Note:
In the Avaya Aura® environment, do not use the PHONEKEY parameter to assign labels to any buttons defined in Avaya Aura® System Manager, including line appearances, features, or automatic dials. It is highly recommended to use the PHONEKEY parameter only if you need to prevent a label from being modified by selecting a forced value for PHONEKEY.
Labels that you configure using the web user interface can be modified by a user. Labels that you configure using the 46xxsettings.txt file for Forced cannot be user-modified, they can be modified only by an Administrator in the 46xxsettings.txt.
The labels that you configure using the 46xxsettings.txt file for non-forced key can be modified from web user interface or on the phone.
If there are no labels configured for a line key by the administrator or the user, the phone provides a default label automatically.
When the phone looks for a label to use, it uses the following priority:
-
User-modified labels
-
Administrator-set labels
-
Default labels
When you add several labels for a single line key, the phone uses only the last one. The phone only takes one administrator-defined label for each entity or same feature.
Starting with 4.0.4, [label] allows users to add non-Latin symbols to their customized labels if their native language uses an alphabet other than Latin. Both left to right (LTR) and right to left (RTL) languages are supported. For example:
SET PHONEKEY "Key=6;Type=autodial;Name=autodial;Attr1=123456;Label=АБВГДЕЁЖЗ"
where Label defines additional non-Latin and extended Latin symbols that can be used when editing custom labels on the phone. You can add up to 31 symbols. The web interface has left alignment, but you can copy a label text in RTL language from clipboard to the label input line. The phone displays RTL labels in the left to right mode.
Note:
Encoding other than ANSI must be used for the 46xxsettings.txt to store non-Latin symbols correctly.
