28 Model 57i CT IP Phone User Guide
Depending on how the phone has been configured, the maximum number of total line/call appearances that can be set up is 8 or 9 (4 line/call appearance as hard keys and 4 or 5 as softkeys). If all line/call appearances have been set up for the same number, a total of 9 lines can be configured. 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.
In active states, such as ringing, conference, connected, etc., all softkeys disappear except softkeys that have been set up as line/call appearances, and any context dependent softkeys required for the active state, such as the Drop softkey in the connected state. Typically, context dependent softkeys appear in the top left position and all line/call appearance softkeys appear in the remaining positions.
Note: In some situations, such as during a conference call, the line/call appearance softkeys may overwrite some of the context dependent soft keys. In this case,

Softkeys as BLF List
(For use with the BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 13 or higher platform only)
You can set a softkey to BLF list.
The BLF list feature on the IP phones is specifically designed to support the BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 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.
Note: Your system administrator must have BLF List enabled on the BroadWorks Server. Contact your system administrator for more information.
In addition to monitoring the idle and busy state, the BLF list feature also supports the ringing state. When the monitored user is idle, there is a small telephone icon shown with the handset
Note: You can also use a BLF/List configured key to dial out.
Example
A receptionist has a 57i CT running Broadsoft firmware that subscribes to a list of extensions from the BroadWorks Application Server. On the 57i CT, the softkey LEDs illuminate either flashing, solid, or turn off depending on the state of those extensions.
Note: The Broadworks BLF feature is not the same as the Broadworks Shared Call Appearance (SCA) feature and does not permit call control over the moni- tored extension.
Setting a BLF List Softkey
The BLF List functions can be configured on the 57i CT using the Aastra Web UI only. If you set a softkey to use BLF/List, you must also enter a BLF List URI at

Softkeys for Accessing XML Services
The 57i CT IP phone has a feature you can enable called "XML" (Extensible Markup Language). XML is a markup language much like HTML.

Note: You can configure XML using the Aastra Web UI only.
On the 57i CT IP phone, you can access the XML applications from the IP Phone UI in two ways:
???Via the "Services" menu

Static and Softkey Settings for Park/Pickup
The IP phone has a park and pickup call feature that allows you to park a call and pickup a call when required. There are two ways a user can configure this feature:
???Using a static configuration
???Using a programmable configuration (using softkeys)
Note: The IP phone accepts both methods of configuration. However, to avoid redundancy, Aastra Telecom recommends you configure either a static con- figuration or a programmable configuration.
The IP phone supports the Park/Pickup feature on the Asterisk, BroadWorks, Sylantro, and ININ PBX servers.
The following paragraphs describe the park and pickup methods of configuration on the IP phones.
Park/Pickup Static Configuration
You can configure a static configuration for parking and picking up a call using the Aastra Web UI at Basic
On the IP phone UI, the static configuration method displays the following:
???When a call comes in, and you pickup the handset, the default label of "Park" displays on the Phone UI.
???After pressing the "Park" softkey to park the call, the default label of "Pickup" displays on the phone UI.
Note: On the 57i CT handset, pressing ??displays the "Park" and "Pickup" labels.
The values you enter in the Aastra Web UI for the Park/Pickup call feature are dependant on your type of server. The following table provides the values you enter for the "Park Call" and "Pickup Parked Call" fields in the Aastra Web UI.
Park/Pickup Call Server Configuration Values
*Leave "value" fields blank to disable the park and pickup feature.
