Syntax

softkey <softkey_ref> : "<full_label>" : "<short_label>" {

instruction 1;

...

instruction n;

}

Type

Softkey return string definitions.

Parameters

Defines a softkey. Softkey definitions must be placed before main and overlay scripts (FDM definitions) or functions (SDC definitions).

Description

<softkey_ref> is the name to be associated with this softkey definition (maximum of 20 characters).
<full_label> is a long test string used to label a softkey (maximum of 18 characters).
<short_label> is a short test string used to label a softkey (maximum of seven characters).
The instructions represent a sequential list of actions that the ADSI telephone will perform when the user presses the softkey.

Notes

Softkeys can perform only simple actions. The definition is sent to the telephone and becomes active when the softkey is pressed. Softkeys are usually defined to send a string of DTMF tones to tell the application what to do next.

For SDC, these definitions are called by load_soft_key_table to create the softkey definer table.

For FDM, these definitions form the softkey table that is downloaded to the ADSI telephone with the FDM script.

Example

softkey 3way_join : "Join Parties" : "Join" {

   do_hookflash;
