Receiving a call

Receiving a call

When you receive a call, you are typically notified by the alerting ring, and the incoming caller identification appears on the LCD screen. The incoming call forces the screen to exit active menu activities and takes precedence over a pop-up Instant Message (IM).

When you receive an incoming SIP call, the Caller ID information appears on the LCD screen. When you receive a call from a contact that is entered in the IP Deskphone Address Book, the caller information appears as it is in the Address Book. See Figure 23 on page 151.
