Preferred Line And Preferred Line Timeout - Aastra 6737i User Manual

Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout

The 6737i 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 spec-
ifies 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.

immediately.
