Set VVX Input (Encoding) Default to 123

[Anonymous]

Hey Guys,

I am programming a EFK button to accept one digit input (parking lot number), but when the button is pressed, it defaults to ASCII as the input selection. Has there been any updates to the firmware to allow a XML config parameter to set the default to 123, or is there a way to define the input to only be numbers?

<efk>
<version efk.version="2" />
<efklist
efk.efklist.1.mname="retrieve"
efk.efklist.1.status="1"
efk.efklist.1.label="retrieve"
efk.efklist.1.use.idle="1"
efk.efklist.1.action.string="*71$P1N1$"
/>
<efkprompt
efk.efkprompt.1.status="1"
efk.efkprompt.1.label="Parking Extension Number"
/>
</efk>
<softkey
softkey.1.label="Retrieve"
softkey.1.action="*71$P1N1$"
softkey.1.enable="1"
softkey.1.use.active="0"
softkey.1.use.hold="0"
softkey.1.use.idle="1"
softkey.1.precede="1"
softkey.feature.basicCallManagement.redundant="1"
/>

Hello extremerotary,

the first document to check for any queries is the UCS Admin Guide matching your current software release.

If for example the UCS 5.0.0 Admin Guide is consulted you find the Enhanced Feature Key Examples describing on page 183:

The label on the user prompt has been defined as Enter Number: and this prompt will display on the phone screen. The type parameter has been set to numeric to allow only numbers and because userfeedback has been specified as visible, you will be able to see the numbers you enter into the prompt.

Above is just an example and further details can be found in the Admin Guide.

Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

Steffen,

Thanks for the info - I have the Admin Manual and did look through it, but couldn't find it in the 590 page manual. Probably because I was looking for the word "input". Alas, I'm glad there are guys like you who know that manual front to back and inside out!
