Making an outgoing call on a bridged call appearance

When you make a call on a bridged call appearance, you are using another person’s call
appearance. The caller ID may show the call as coming from you or coming from the
person whose call appearance you are using. If you have any questions about how the
name or extension displays to the person you are calling, contact your system
administrator.
1. Press the call/line button associated with the bridged call appearance.
2. Dial the telephone number, or call the person from the contacts list, or call the
person from the call log.
About Shared Line Appearances
If your call processing system is an Avaya Distributed Office system and depending on
how it is configured, your phone may show shared line appearances on the display screen
in addition to your own lines. A shared line appearance is a line that is shared among
multiple users. You can answer a call, join a call in progress, and make an outgoing call
on a shared line appearance. You can make only outside calls on line appearances. The
procedures to answer, join, and make a call on a shared line appearance are similar as
those for a bridged appearance. But instead of using another person's line, you are using
a shared line.

Answering a call on a shared line appearance

1. Press the call/line appearance button associated with the shared line appearance.
Note:
The ringing shared line appearance may be selected automatically if there are no
other active calls. If you are on another call when a call comes in to a shared line
appearance, you may have to select the ringing shared line appearance button
(just like for an incoming call to a primary line).
2. Press the Answer softkey.
Note:
Answering a call on a shared line appearance is basically the same as a call on
a primary line. If the ringing shared line appearance is selected, you can answer
by picking up the handset, by pressing the Speaker or Headset button, or
pressing the Answer softkey.
