Bridged Call Appearance — Multi-Appearance

Telephone

Allows calls made to or from a primary telephone user’s extension number to be handled from more than one telephone. A bridged call appearance is set up by administering a primary extension and the button number associated with it on a multi-lamp button on another telephone. One way this feature is most often used is by secretaries or assistants who answer or handle calls to the primary extension (an executive, for example). When the primary extension receives a call, the bridged call appearance flashes or rings on all telephones administered with this feature. The call can be answered by anyone having a telephone with this feature and handled as if the primary extension user was answering it. The maximum number of bridged appearances has been expanded from 25 to 64 with

DEFINITY ECS R8.

Bridged Call Appearance — Single-Line

Telephone

Allows single-line telephones users to have a bridged appearance on a multi-appearance telephone.

Temporary Bridged Appearance

Allows multi-appearance telephone users in a terminating extension group or personal central office line group to bridge onto an existing group call. If a call has been answered using the Call Pickup feature, the originally called party can bridge onto the call. This feature also allows a called party to bridge onto a call that redirects to coverage before the called party can answer it.

Privacy — Manual Exclusion

Allows multi-appearance telephone users to keep other users with appearances of the same extension number from bridging onto an existing call. Exclusion is activated by pressing the Exclusion button on a per-call basis.

Privacy-Auto Exclusion

When the Class of Service is set for the Automatic Exclusion option, the feature is activated when you take your telephone off-hook. The feature can be deactivated when you push the Exclusion button before dialing a call or during a call. An excluded call that is on hold can be taken off hold by any telephone that has a bridged appearance of the telephone that put the call on hold.
