Goodbye Key Cancels Incoming Call

You can configure the Goodbye key to drop active calls or ignore incoming calls using the “goodbye cancels incoming call” parameter. This parameter controls the behavior of the goodbye key when the phone is on an active call and a second call is presented to the phone.

How it Works

When you enable this parameter (1 = enable in the configuration files), which is the default, the Goodbye key rejects the incoming call. When you disable this parameter (0 = disable in the configuration files), the Goodbye key hangs up the active call.

For the 55i, 57i, and 57i CT:

If you enable this parameter, and the phone receives another call when an active call is already present, the phone displays softkey 1 as “answer” and softkey 2 as “ignore”. You can press the required softkey as applicable.

For the 53i:

If you enable this parameter, and the phone receives another call when an active call is already present, the “ignore” option only displays in the LCD window. The phone ignores the incoming call. If you press the DOWN arrow key, the phone answers the incoming call.

You can set this parameter using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.
