When you define bridged extension appearances on a primary telephone:
Incoming calls appear on the bridged extension buttons first, followed
■
by the buttons (if any) associated with the primary telephone's
extension. For example, by default, buttons 1, 2, and 3 are extension
appearances of the primary telephone. If you define buttons 4, 5, 6,
and 7 as bridged extensions on the primary telephone, incoming calls
appear on primary telephone buttons in the order 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3.
Any bridged extension appearance that overlaps one of the defined
■
extension appearances for the primary telephone take precedence
over those extension appearances. For example, if you define buttons
3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 as bridged extension appearances on the primary
telephone, incoming calls appear on primary telephone buttons in the
order 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2.
Example 1: An 3Com Business Telephone, extension 1044, is defined as
a primary telephone and buttons 2, 3, and 4 are defined as bridged
extension buttons. Two other 3Com Business Telephones, extensions
1055 and 1066, are defined as secondary telephones on which extension
1044 appears. On the 1055 telephone, buttons 10, 11, and 12 are
configured as the three bridged extension buttons for the 1044
telephone. On the 1066 telephone, buttons 4, 5, and 6 are configured as
bridged extension appearances.
If a call is made to extension 1044, it can be answered using any of the
following buttons:
Extension 1044 (primary telephone) — button 2
■
Extension 1055 (secondary telephone) — button 10
■
Extension 1066 (secondary telephone) — button 4
■
In this example, both secondary telephones use buttons 1, 2, and 3 as
extensions appearances for their own extensions.
Example 2: A 3Com Business Telephone with extension 1077 is defined
as a primary telephone and buttons 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are defined as
bridged extension buttons. Two other 3Com Business Telephones
(extensions 1088 and 1099) are defined as secondary telephones on
which extension 1077 is to appear. On the 1088 telephone, buttons 10,
11, and 12 are configured as bridged extension buttons. On the 1099
telephone, buttons 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are configured as bridged extension
appearances for extension 1077.
