To program the function keys on your Polycom VVX450, you need to input the page number (if applicable) and key number to the system.

  • On the 101VOICE web portal, browse to Telephone Lines from the dashboard or the features menu, and click on the line that is tied to your phone. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find “OTHER OPTIONS FOR THIS TELEPHONE LINE”. Click on “Function keys”.
  • In the function keys page, you will see 5 columns: page number, key number, function, key data, and display name.

Page Number:
The Polycom VVX450 has 1 page for function keys, so this should be 1.

Key Number:
The Polycom VVX450 function keys are numbered 1-9. Key number 1 is the first key after the last line key.
Please check the stencil in the user guide for your reference.
If you try to skip key numbers, your phone ignores it and fills the first available key.

Function:
There are different types of functions for each key that you can select depending on your needs.

  1. Speed Dial: Call an internal extension or an external number.
  2. BLF (Busy Lamp Field) or BLF with Pickup: Monitor another extension/user and pick up incoming to that extension/user. If you are interested in BLF with pickup, please contact 101VOICE support. Please note that either all BLFs have directed pickup feature or not†

Key Data:
This will vary depending on the function.

  1. Speed dial: Enter the extension or external phone number.
  2. BLF or BLF with pickup: Enter the 10-digit telephone line number †

Display name:
The name or number that will be shown on your phone next to the function key.
Please note that there is a character limitation for each phone depending on the size of the display.

Export keys:
If you already have function keys assigned to your telephone line, you can simply export in CSV format.

Import Keys:
You can make a CSV file for your function keys and import it. Please make sure you have the correct format. If you update your function keys by exporting and importing, make sure you set Existing Keys to Overwrite. In your CSV file, please use the following for function type:
