We were running UC Software 4.0.2.B, and using the sofkey configuration below.  This effectively moved the DND button to the far right of the screen, because we had numerous customers who were pressing DND by accident.  We just inserted blank soft keys between the Forward key and DND.  After upgrading to UC Software 4.1.3 a second DND softkey shows up immediately after the Forward key.  I have been unable to remove this DND button.  I have tried removing it in the config file, and in the Web interface by checking "Disable default soft keys" for both Polycom VVX 500 and 600 devices.  I can remove "New Call" and "Forward" in using either method, but I cannot remove "DND".  Is this a bug, my lack of knowledge or was it intended to be this way in the new release?

 

***EDIT***

Also, I tested this with a basic config, and 4.0.2.B does not insert a DND unless you specify.  Whereas 4.1.3 does insert a DND key automatically.  So, I guessing it was intended to be non-removable, or it is a bug.  

 

<softkey
softkey.feature.forward="1"
softkey.feature.newcall="1"
softkey.1.enable="1"
softkey.1.label=""
softkey.1.use.idle="1"
softkey.2.enable="1"
softkey.2.label=""
softkey.2.use.idle="1"
softkey.3.enable="1"
softkey.3.label="DND"
softkey.3.action="$FDoNotDisturb$"
softkey.3.use.idle="1"
/>

 

Thanks,

JAikens

If you are running 4.1.3 and have this issue, you can insert a blank key to move the DND key to the right.  Which will place the blank soft key under the end call key, and avoid the original problem.  Enable enhanced feature keys, under feature.  Then, add a customer softkey as shown below.

 

<feature>
<feature.enhancedFeatureKeys feature.enhancedFeatureKeys.enabled="1"/>
</feature>

 

<softkey
softkey.1.enable="1"
softkey.1.label=""
softkey.1.use.idle="1"
softkey.1.insert="2"  This will place a blank key between the New Call and DND keys
/>

 

 

or 

 

<softkey
softkey.1.enable="1"
softkey.1.label=""
softkey.1.use.idle="1"
softkey.1.precede="1"  This will place a blank key in front of the New Call key

/>

 

 

NOTE: You could also assign a function to this key, shuch as: Directory or Recent calls.  This way it is useful.

Hello ,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

This rings a bell in 4.1.3 but you should go ahead and raise this via your Polycom reseller in order to track this and verify.

 

The Polycom reference for your reseller is VESC-2173 and should be enough information for our Call centre agents.

 

Please export your configuration and also attach your log files.

<!-- Features - Generic -->

<feature>

        <feature.enhancedFeatureKeys feature.enhancedFeatureKeys.enabled="1"/>      <!—This must be enabled 

</feature>

 

<!—This adds a softkey in front of the default softkeys, assigns it the action that brings up recent calls, and lables it Recent.

<softkey

softkey.1.action="$FCallList$"      <!--Sets the action to pull recent call list

softkey.1.enable="1"

softkey.1.label="Recent"

softkey.1.precede="1"             <!--Place it in front of all current buttons

softkey.1.use.idle="1"           <!--Place this new button on the idle screen
