Administrator Account Privileges The 900 Series phone support two levels of administration privileges: Administrator and User.
Administrator account privilege is needed for these functions. Upgrade URL The Upgrade URL lets you upgrade the 900 Series phone to the firmware specified by the URL, which can identify either a TFTP or HTTP server. If the value of the <Upgrade Enable> parameter in the Provisioning page is No, you cannot upgrade the Note 900 Series phone even if the web page indicates otherwise.
TFTP or HTTP server. If no firmware-pathname is specified, /spa.bin is assumed, as in the following example: http://192.168.2.217/admin/upgrade?tftp://192.168.2.251/spa.bin Resync URL The Resync URL lets you force the 900 Series phone to do a resync to a profile specified in the URL, which can identify either a TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server. Note The SPA resyncs only when it is idle.
For further information about remote provisioning refer to the LVS SPA Provisioning Guide.

A new call appearance is selected automatically when the user presses the conf or xfer soft key. The 900 Series phone tries to pick an idle call appearance that is on the same extension as the last active call. If that call appearance is not available, the phone tries to pick a call appearance whose extension has the same proxy server as the last active call.
A line key LED rapidly blinks red when a call is incoming. The user can answer the call by: • Selecting an audio device. The 900 Series phone answers the ringing call. If there are simultaneous incoming calls, the call ringing on the lowest numbered line key is answered. •...
A speed dial entry can be a phone number or URL. The user can also enter a name that matches one of the directory entries. As the value is entered, the 900 Series phone attempts to match the entry to the directory entries and brings up a list of potential matches on the screen. The user can scroll down to select one of the suggested entries.
The 900 Series phone implements this feature by repeatedly dialing the busy number periodically until the called party rings or answers, or until the service order is canceled by the user or expires.
(the ring to be used is the default ring for the corresponding extension for that Line key). If the call back party answers the call before the local user does, the 900 Series phone sends a holding tone to the call back party. If the local user picks up the call back Line key first, the user hears a ring back tone like a regular outbound call.
Ring Tone Up to 100 entries can be stored in the 900 Series phone. An entry can be added or edited from the phone GUI or on the web page or through remote provisioning. To do this from the web page or through remote provisioning, you specify the value as a DirEntry script.
When looking for matches from the Redial List and the Directory, the 900 Series phone skips any leading *codes, so that the match is purely based on the target number. If configured on the phone, the *code that is skipped may be any of the following: •...

Managing Linksys 900 Series IP Phones Using Call Features The 900 Series phone keeps up to 60 entries per log in reverse chronological order. The logs are saved in the phone non-volatile memory.

The characteristics of each ring tone is configurable using a Ring Tone script. In a Ring Tone script, the user can assign a name for the ring tone, and specify two components: •...
For input, you can use any .wav file less than eight seconds. Configuring a Dial Plan The 900 Series phone allows each line to be configured with a distinct dial plan. The dial plan specifies how to interpret digit sequences dialed by the user, and how to convert those sequences into an outbound dial string.
Any one of a set of terminating events triggers the 900 Series phone to either accept the user-dialed sequence and transmit it to initiate a call, or else to reject it as invalid. The terminating events are as follows: •...
Thus, “L:8,( . . . )” sets the interdigit long timeout to 8 seconds for the line associated with this dial plan. And, “L:8,S:4,( . . . )” overrides both the long and the short time-out values. Linksys 900 Series IP Phone Administrator Guide Document Version 3.1...
Warm Line. Implicit Sequences The 900 Series phone implicitly appends the vertical code sequences entered in the administration web server Regional parameter settings to the end of the dial plan for both Line 1 and Line 2. Likewise, if <Enable_IP_Dialing> is enabled, IP dialing is also accepted on the associated line.
The <Interdigit_Short_Timer> specifies the default maximum time (in seconds) allowed between dialed digits, when at least one candidate digit sequence is complete as dialed (see the following discussion of Dial_Plan parameters for an explanation of candidate digit sequences). Linksys 900 Series IP Phone Administrator Guide Document Version 3.1 3-29...
This option require the user to confirm before proceeding. Password Protection The user can configure a password to the phone to protect against access to the certain options. Linksys 900 Series IP Phone Administrator Guide Document Version 3.1 3-30...
If the header is present, the SPA uses it to update its current time. • Manual Setup—900 Series phone also lets the user manually enter the current time and date from the phone GUI or from the web page. However, this value is overridden by the NTP time or SIP Message Date whenever they are presented to the phone.
Using Star Codes to Activate/Deactivate Services The 900 Series phone accepts star codes to activate or deactivate certain services on the phone. Below is a list of services that are accessible with a star code, with the default star code shown in parenthesis: •...
Page 83
The *code soft key indicates the *codes available. Star codes can also be included in a directory entry or redial list. In addition there are two special codes: • Referral Services Codes Linksys 900 Series IP Phone Administrator Guide Document Version 3.1 3-33...
Services that can be disabled (or enabled) by the second method include any service that has a star code assignment in the 900 Series phone configuration profile. Note that if a service is enabled, but the corresponding *code is emptied, the service can still be enabled/disabled by the end- user from the phone LCD or the administration web server.
A flashing red line status light on the SPA900 Series phone indicates a local LAN issue. If statistics on the switch show a high number of collisions on the ports connected to the 900 Series phone, you can reduce the speed on the ports to 10mb half duplex to eliminate the collision problems.
