Overview

Some features are common to all programmable function keys:

Pressing a key when its LED is blinking and the phone is ringing accepts the call.
Pressing a key when a call is in progress at that key, as indicated by the constantly lit LED, puts the call on hold.
Pressing a key twice while editing a number for dialling at that key, with the receiver in the cradle, returns the phone to idle state.
Pressing a key twice while editing a number for dialling at that key, with the receiver off the hook, erases the number

Context: The default setting is <Active>, i.e., the functionality chosen under Type will be applied to any currently active extension (SIP identity) for outgoing calls. If a specific extension (SIP identity) is chosen from the pull down menu, the functionality under Type will be applied only to the chosen extension (SIP identity).
Type: The default setting is <Line>. When another setting is selected from the pull down menu Types, that functionality will be applied to the extension (SIP identity) chosen as Context.
Number: The default setting is <blank>. You can enter a number / HTTP(S) URL / SIP URI as required by Type.
Label: The default setting is <blank>. You can enter whatever you like, it will then appear as label on the buttons of the virtual key state.

Any line key can also be programmed directly on the phone. To enter the configuration menu simply long-press the line key you want to program.

Type: Currently, only the types ACD, Speed Dial, and Key Event can be selected.

Label: With Type = Key Event, no label is necessary, as the key event comes with its own icon + label text.
