About Bridged Calls

About Bridged Calls

Your phone may show one or more bridged lines on the display screen in addition to your own lines. A bridged line typically belongs to someone else, but bridging allows you to see if that line is in use, answer calls on that line, or join a call in progress on that line from your telephone. You can also make outgoing calls on a bridged line when it is not in use.

Answering a call on a bridged line

1.Select the bridged call that you want to answer.

Note:

The Aux button label of the bridged line with the incoming call is highlighted and the Aux button LED flashes to help you identify which bridged line is ringing. The ringing line will be selected automatically if there are no other active calls. If you are on another call when a call comes in to a bridged line, you have to select the ringing line (just like for an incoming call to a primary line).

2.Press Answer or press the flashing Aux button.

Making an outgoing call on a bridged line

When you make a call on a bridged line, you are using another person’s line. The caller ID may show the call as coming from you or coming from the person whose line 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.
