Aastra Telecom 6757I CT manual Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout

Additional Features

Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout

The 6757i CT 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.

Note: You can configure “Preferred Line” and “Preferred Line Timeout” using the Aastra Web UI only.
