AT&T/Lucent/Avaya 8400 series codes

The 8400 series of Definity phones have some settings you can modify directly on the phone.

They are accessed by pressing shift-mute-[2 digits]

If your phone does not have a shift button, use ring-mute-[2 digits]

Note:Onhook Dialing on Terminals? in system-parameters features must be set to N for this to work.

I scanned the codes on a Lucent branded 8434DX with R5.0 firmware and found the following:

11 Codec Info
35 Set two line or one line display
68 Enable or disable mute button
74 Set ringer to continuous, single ring, or disable it
77 Enable or disable speakerphone
00 Settings overview
