How To: Program buttons on the Advantage Voice desk phone

You can add the phone line of another user (within your business) to your desk phone, and have it function as if it were your own. This is called a Virtual Line or (SCA) Shared call Appearance Line. Doing this allows you to transfer incoming calls directly to that extension, or answer incoming calls to that line.

1. Go to smartvoice.shawbusiness.ca.
2. Log in using your group administrator credentials.
3. Navigate to the extension you’d like to update and click on the phone image under Status.
4. Click Device Manager under the larger image of the the phone.
5. Allow browser pop-ups, if prompted.
6. On the device image, click an empty key and then select Click to Setup.
7. Select Line from the What type of key? dropdown menu.
8. Select the line you want to add from the list of available lines.
9. Select a Ringer type from the dropdown menu (eg. silent, normal, or a ringtone).
10. Click Apply.
11. Click Save All.

Your desk phone will reboot and come back online within 5 minutes.

If the line you want to add doesn’t appear on the list in Step 7, the owner does not have the Shared Call Appearance feature enabled. That setting can be found on the Calling Features tab.

Using the Busy Lamp Field (BLF) allows you to monitor the status of other lines within your business, from your desk phone.

1. Go to smartvoice.shawbusiness.ca.
2. Log in using your group administrator credentials.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
4. Allow browser pop-ups, if prompted.
5. On the device image, click an empty key and then select Click to Setup.
6. Select Busy Lamp Field from the What type of key? dropdown menu.
7. Click Search to load the available lines.
8. Select the lines you want to monitor.
9. Click Apply.
10. Click Save All.

When the monitored line is in use, the BLF key will be green. Incoming calls to a monitored line will make your BLF key flash red. Incoming calls can be answered and transferred.

By special request, you can have a tone sound on the line when a monitored line receives a call, while you’re on a call.

If you program desk phone buttons to speed dial, you can make and transfer calls with one button press.

10. Click Save All.

Your desk phone will reboot and come back online within five minutes, with your new custom speed dial numbers displayed.
