Aastra Telecom 6730I Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout

Additional Features

Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout

The 6730i has a feature called “preferred line” and “preferred line timeout”. If you enable the

preferred line parameter on your phone, after a call ends (incoming or outgoing), the display

switches back to the preferred line. Next time you go off-hook to make another call, you pickup on

the preferred line. You can enable the preferred line parameter using the Aastra Web UI at the

location, Basic Settings->Preferences->General. You can also set a preferred timeout parameter

that specifies the number of seconds it takes for the phone to switch back to the preferred line.

The following table provides the behavior of the preferred line focus feature with other features on

the phone.

Note: You can configure “Preferred Line” and “Preferred Line Timeout” using

the Aastra Web UI only.

Phone Feature Preferred Line Behavior

the call ends.

speeddial The line is already specified when the speeddial is created. The

phone switches back immediately after the call ends.

conference For incoming calls, the phone switches back immediately after

the call ends.

same line used to transfer the call does not change. For incoming

transfers.

If no digits are entered or digits were cleared, the focus changes

to preferred line after the time out has passed without activities.

caller id If the "Switch UI Focus To Ringing Line" parameter is disabled,

the User is able to see the Caller ID when the phone switches the

focus to the ringing line.

factory default Factory default and recovery mode clears the "preferred line" and

"preferred line timeout" parameters, and the phone operates in a

non-preferred line mode.

Notes:

1. If you specify a value of “0” for the preferred line parameter, it

disables the preferred line focus feature.

2. If you specify a value of “0” for the preferred line timeout

parameter, the phone returns the line to the preferred line immediately.
