Setting up bridged call appearances
Think of a bridged call appearance as a phone (the primary set) with an extension
(the bridged-to appearance). Both phones can be used to call in and out and both
show when a line is in use. A call to the primary phone is bridged to a specific
appearance, or button, on the secondary phone. The secondary phone retains all its
functions, and a specific button is dedicated as the bridged-to appearan ce from the
primary phone.
Bridged call appearances have to be assigned to phones with double-l amp b uttons,
or lights. The phone types do not need to match, but as much consistency as
possible is recommended for all phones in a bridged group. When a call comes in
on bridged phones, the buttons assigned to the bridged appearances flash. You can
assign as many bridged appearances as there are line appearances on the primary
phone, and you can assign ringing (alerting) to one or more of the phones.
Instructions
To create a bridged call appearance:
1. Note the extension of the primary phone.
A call to this phone lights the button and, if activated, rings at the
bridged-to appearance on the secondary phone.
2. If you want to use a new phone for the bridged-to extension, duplicate a
station.
For information refer to ‘‘Using templates to add phones’’ on page 41.
3. Type change station and the bridged-to extension and press RETURN.
The Station screen appears.
