customizing Text Labels!

 

On Avaya phones where the programmable button has an adjacent display area, a text label is displayed to indicate the button's function.

Each function has a default label. However this default label can be replaced by a custom text label of up to 13 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9 plus ., *, - and #). This custom label can be entered either by the user from their phone or through the IP Office configuration.
