The Linksys Voice System SPA962

Standard features on the SPA962 include six active lines, dual switched Ethernet ports, 802.3af PoE support, a high resolution color display, speakerphone, and a 2.5 mm head-set port. Each line can be independently configured to use a unique phone number (or extension), or can be configured to use a shared number that is assigned to multiple phones.

With hundreds of features and configurable service parameters, the SPA962 addresses the requirements of traditional business users while leveraging the advantages of IP telephony. Features such as easy station moves, presence, and shared line appearances (across local and geographically dispersed locations) are just some of the many advantages of the SPA962.

The Linksys Voice System SPA932

The SPA932 easily attaches to the SPA962 IP Phone providing 32 programmable speed-dial or direct station select (DSS) buttons, each button illuminating the line’s status (idle, ringing, busy, or null) via the busy lamp field (BLF). Incoming calls received can be immediately transferred to the proper location with only the push of a button assigned to the extension on the SPA932.

The modular design of the SPA932 permits up to two attendant consoles to be deployed for a total of 64 additional buttons. Installation and setup is just a matter of connecting the supplied bracket and cable to the SPA962 through which the SPA932 also utilizes the phone’s power supply --no additional power source is required.
 

Here is the correct syntax and set up for configuring a speed dial/BLF key on the SPA932 tab of the SPA962's web interface:
