Multi Address Appearance on OpenStage

User Experience
MAA is automatically activated if the phone has line keys configured, thus the phone works as MAA
phone ‘out of the box’. Line key administration is done by the administrator; the user has no influence
on these settings. Depending on the settings, the phone will react slightly different in basic user
interactions. This document will outline these differences.
Even if only one line key is configured, the phone changes into line presentation mode. The line
presentation mode helps the user to keep track of the different line statuses. On an OpenStage 60/80
phone, up to 30 lines can be configured, whereas OpenStage 15/20/40 phones are limited to 18 lines.
Basic Representation
If an OpenStage phone is configured as MAA phone, the basic appearance is changed. A new line is
introduced into the idle screen; it is represented in line overview mode. The tab shows the status of the
primary line, and the Overview Tab showing the current status of the users managed on the phone. If a
line is used, an additional tab per line can be shown.
A single User line is always represented with a preconfigured FPK. The FPK label fits to the Line
overview entry and line overview tab name, the FPK LED status fits to the icon displayed in the line
overview table.
The user can change between the different tabs using the phone home key of the ‘left arrow’ key. This
toggles between the different tabs. The tabs are cycled to toggling can be done in an endless loop.
Multiple Address representation is adopted to the limited resources of the phone. Although the phone
is able to manage the phone call for many users it still have only one audio input and output device,
storage for one Call log and one MWI button/LED.
Therefore one line is outstanding. This line, called ‘primary line’ is bound to the local call log and MWI
indication. The primary line has always an own line overview screen called (My Phone) in idle state. It
contains the information about missed calls and MWI. Each MAA phone must have one and only one
primary line defined. Each other user lines are secondary lines and treated equally.
The example pictures used in this document are using always the same configuration:

User 204 204

User 333 333
Secondary line
User 444 444

User 555 555

MWI and Call Log are used for User 204, which is the prime line
