•Terminate the call so you can’t answer it. See Rejecting Incoming Calls.

Ignoring Incoming Calls

Ignore a call to do the following:

•Minimize the incoming call window so it doesn’t display on the screen.

•Stop your phone from ringing.

When you ignore a call, you stop your phone from ringing, but you can still answer the call (the call appearance still appears on the screen).

To ignore a call:

•While your phone rings, press the Ignore soft key (for private and shared lines).

User Tip: Anwering a Call when Silent Ringing is Enabled

When your Polycom SoundPoint IP 32x/33x phone is configured for silent ring, press the incoming ing Line key or the Answer soft key to answer the call. If your handset is off-hook, the call is routed to the handset. If your handset is on-hook, the call is routed to the speaker.

Note: Using DTMF (touch tone) Signaling While You Have an Incoming Call

Dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signaling is not available while a call is incoming. You may resume DTMF signaling by pressing the Reject soft key (for private lines) or the Ignore soft key (for private and shared lines). For more information, contact your system administrator.

Rejecting Incoming Calls

You can reject a call to stop your phone from ringing and end the call so you can’t answer it. Rejected calls display in your Received Calls list. You cannot reject calls on shared lines.

To reject a call:

•While the phone rings, press the Reject soft key.

What the caller sees when you reject the call depends on how the system administrator has configure call rejection. By default, the caller will asked to leave a voicemail.
