Unable to create a soft key button on Polycom 550

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am trying to configure a soft key button for speed dial an extension on soundpoint IP 550 firmware 4.0.4. I am using the below mentioned config in .cfg file.

<PHONE_CONFIG>
<ALL
feature.enhancedFeatureKeys.enabled="1"
softkey.1.action="7203$Tinvite$"
softkey.1.enable="1"
softkey.1.label="Dan"
softkey.1.use.idle="1"
softkey.1.use.active="1"
/>
</PHONE_CONFIG>
 

I can see the button names Dan on the screen but after pressing it does nothing. I have also tried with softkey.1.action="7203$Cnewcall$" and softkey.1.action="7203" but results are same. Kindly help me.

Hello muyousif,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

Firstly UCS 4.0.4 is not the latest Software so I advise you to use UCS 4.0.6

In addition the community's VoIP FAQ contains this post here:

I prepared the config by getting idea from the link you mentioned in the post. But still it is not working. So I need to know what am I missing ? Is my configuration is wrong or it missing something important ?

Hello muyousif,

I just tested the example configuration and after a reboot of the phone , as I imported the configuration via the Web Interface, the EFK works as expected.

I added a troubleshooting EFK section to the above FAQ post.
