Administration

Cisco – SPA500S Configuration

Prerequisites:

  • Expansion module is connected to phone
  • Access to the phone’s WEB GUI

Step 1 – Access Admin Advanced Settings

A. On the phone’s WEB GUI page, access the Admin Login page located on the top right-hand corner.
B. Once on admin login, in the same area, click on advanced.

To confirm you are on the right page, the URL will be admin/advanced and the option Attendant Console will be shown under the Voice menu.

Step 2 – Change Server Type

A. Change Server Type to Asterisk

B. Change Attendant Console Call Pickup Code to **

Step 3 – Add Programmable Keys

  • Speed Dial
  • Busy Lamp Field (BLF)

Once programmable keys have been configured, click Submit All Changes.

Speed Dial

Using the following syntax:

fnc=type;ext=extension#@$PROXY

Where:

  •  fnc: function
  • sd: speed dial
  • ext or usr: extension or user (the usr and ext keywords are interchangeable)

Example:

fnc=sd;ext=5249@$PROXY

Asterisk feature codes can also be included, like so:
fnc=sd;ext=*43@$PROXY

Busy Lamp Field (BLF)

Using the following syntax:

fnc=type;sub=stationname@$PROXY;ext=extension#@$PROXY

Where:

  •  fnc: function
  • blf: busy lamp field
  • sub: station name
  • ext or usr: extension or user (the usr and ext keywords are interchangeable)

Example:

fnc=blf;sub=5225@$PROXY;ext=5225@$PROXY

USEFUL TIP

If the phone LEDs display orange or slow blinking orange, there is a problem: Orange indicates that the phone failed to subscribe (received a 4xx response) and slow-blinking orange denotes an undefined problem (there might be no response to the subscribe request, or the BLF).
