hi,
We are using Yealink T30P ip phones for customers, Our customers want to disable the hardkey “*” on the IP phone ? how can we disable the * key on it ?
Hello!
This would come from the Yealink device .cfg / xml. If you have a template you can change this value. Also, you may be able to do this from the phone “Menu Keys” to disable it from the Dialpad. Please let us know if you have other questions!
Thank you,
Evy
