Preferred Line And Preferred Line Timeout - Aastra 6757i CT User Manual

Additional Features

Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout

The 6757i CT has a feature called "preferred line" and "preferred line timeout". If you enable the preferred line parameter
on your phone, after a call ends (incoming or outgoing), the display switches back to the preferred line. Next time you go
off-hook to make another call, you pickup on the preferred line. You can enable the preferred line parameter using the
Aastra Web UI at the location, Basic Settings->Preferences->General. You can also set a preferred timeout parameter
that specifies the number of seconds it takes for the phone to switch back to the preferred line.
Note:
You can configure "Preferred Line" and "Preferred Line Timeout" using the Aastra Web UI only.
The following table provides the behavior of the preferred line focus feature with other features on the phone.

speed dial The line is already specified when the speed dial is created. The phone switches
back immediately after the call ends.

to transfer the call does not change. For incoming calls, the phone switches

see the Caller ID when the phone switches the focus to the ringing line.

line timeout" parameters, and the phone operates in a non-preferred line
mode.

1. If you specify a value of "0" for the preferred line parameter, it disables the preferred line focus feature.
2. If you specify a value of "0" for the preferred line timeout parameter, the phone returns the line to the preferred line
immediately.
