IP Phone Administrator Guide

You can enable or disable a BEEP option using the Status Message object 
(AastraIPPhoneStatus), the configuration files, or the Aastra Web UI.

When the phone receives a status message, the BEEP notifies the user that the 
message is displaying. 

You can use the following to enable/disable a status message beep:

•

AastraIPPhoneStatus object (via XML object; see 

)

•

xml beep notification (via configuration files)

•

XML Beep Support (via the Aastra Web UI)

Enabling the beep is an indication to the phone to sound a beep when it receives 
an AastraIPPhoneStatus object.  If you disable the beep, or no 
AastraIPPhoneStatus object appears in the status message, then the default 
behavior is no beep is heard when the object arrives to the phone.

The value set in the configuration files and Aastra Web UI override the attribute 
you specify for the AastraIPPhoneStatus object.

For example, if the AastraIPPhoneStatus object has the attribute of Beep=”yes”, 
and you uncheck (disable) the “XML Beep Support” in the Aastra Web UI, the 
phone does not beep when it receives an AastraIPPhoneStatus object.

Setting the BEEP option in the configuration files and the Aastra Web UI applies 
to the phone immediately.

For information about enabling/disabling the XML beep in the Aastra Web UI, see 

For enabling/disabling a status message beep using the Status 

Message object, see
