Using your Avaya 1220 IP Deskphone
49
To make a call, you can dial an alphanumeric SIP address; for example,
[e-mail] can enter and edit text on your Avaya 1220 IP
Deskphone using the following methods:
Attention: Some service providers support only the use of a
Directory Number (DN) such as 555-5555 to initiate a call to another
IP Deskphone. Contact your system administrator or service provider
to determine if alphanumeric dialing is supported. Alphanumeric
dialing consists of string of text that contain letters and numbers that
make up, for example, a SIP address.
Entering text using the IP Deskphone
dialpad
For applications that offer text input, when you use the dialpad to enter
text the system activates the abc/123 context-sensitive soft key.
You can toggle between numeric and alphabetic input as follows:
• When the context-sensitive soft key label is abc, you can enter
alphabetic text.
• When the context-sensitive soft key label is 123, you can enter
numbers.

For example, if you want to enter the lower case letter a, press the abc/
123 context-sensitive soft key to toggle to alphabetic input. Then press
the number 2 key once. If you want to enter the upper case letter C, press
the number 2 key six times. You can cycle through the letters (and the
numeral) by pressing the number button repeatedly.
