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.

Use the following procedures to configure the behavior of the Goodbye Key on
