Incoming Call Interrupts

 

 

Dialing

 

 

(in Web UI)

 

 

 

 

Description

Enable or disables how the phone handles incoming calls while the phone

 

is dialing out.

 

 

When you enable this parameter (1 = true), an incoming call interrupts the

 

outgoing call during dialing and allows the phone to ring for the user to

 

answer the incoming call.

 

When you disable this parameter (0 = false), which is the default, the

 

phone does not interrupt the outgoing call during dialing and instead rings

 

the incoming call on another free line (or sends busy signal if all

 

remaining lines are busy). You have a choice to ignore the incoming call,

 

or answer the incoming call on another line, via the Ignore and Answer

 

softkeys that display. If you choose to answer the incoming call, you can

 

answer the call, finish the call, and then hang up. You can still go back to

 

the original outgoing call and finish dialing out.

 

Notes:

 

 

1. On a 53i, you must use the up and down arrow keys to ignore or

 

answer the call.

 

 

2. On all phone models, if you disable this parameter (0=disable), and the

 

phone receives an incoming call while you are dialing an outgoing call,

 

you can pick up the call and perform transfer or conference as required.

 

After enabling or disabling this feature, it takes affect on the phone

 

immediately.
