Is it possible to edit the programmable key name?

[dan231]

For example:
I have a programmable key for Redirect.  The phone lists this as "Redirect"

Can I rename that to read "Redirect x2500"

Trying to think of an easier way for users to remember what ext vm is.

I don't think there is. I don't believe the feature code names are editable. Even if they were and you changed it to "Redirect x2500", if some else need a redirect key for, say x2501 and they used feature code 331, it would say Redirect 2500.

Ok, thanks...just a thought anyway

Make it a Sta Spd instead.  Name it anything you want (using 383 code or user web interface) and put the whole string under it (3312500).

Sounds great, doesn't work.  Do I have the syntax correct?
In web GUI - I created a speed dial and entered for number =  3312500

You have to do it on the station level, this is not done from the DB Studio software... from the set enter:

383
0-9 (The BIN number you want to use for this feature)
Red to Bob (or the name you want to use entered via the keypad)
#
3312500 (assuming Bob is 2500)
#
(System responds with Sta Spd Bin #x is updated)

Then put it on a key
397
Press key you want to program
382
X (whatever BIN # you used above)

Done, the button will say

Red to Bob
3312500

I did that on my phone and the response I get is " Use SPCL Key for Feature Codes"

In System -> Flags is "SPCL Key Required for Feature Code Entry" set to Yes? If so, you will need to change it to No.

Perfect!  Works.

Nice workaround guys!

Changing the Special Key flag probably was a poor trade off.

 Can you please explain?

End users frequently enter Feature Codes while trying to place calls. Without the requirement to use the Special Key, they will change the programming of their phone.

I don't have a lot of "never" or "always" rules, but I always set the flag to require use of the Special Key.

Good to know.  Do you have a different suggestion to try?

This thread is brilliant, I installed a 5000 a couple of years ago and programmed a string under a button to open a reception door and named it Door Open.

A year or so later we changed some buttons around and accidentally deleted the key, for the life of me I couldn't remember how I had named the station speed dial.

Now I know again how I did it, cheers!!
