Setting Up Bridged Call Appearances - Avaya Communication Manager Administrator's Manual

More information
There are limits to the total number of abbreviated dialing list entries, the number of personal
dial lists, and the number of group dial lists that your system can store. Because of these
limitations, you should avoid storing the same number in more than one list. Instead, assign
commonly dialed numbers to the system list or to a group list. You can determine the
abbreviated dialing storage capacity, by referring to the System Capacity screen for the
abbreviated dialing values (type display capacity). For details on the System Capacity
screen, see Maintenance Commands for Avaya Communication Manager, Media Gateways
and Servers, 03-300191.

Setting up Bridged Call Appearances

Think of a bridged call appearance as a telephone (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 telephone is bridged to a specific appearance, or button, on the
secondary telephone. The secondary telephone retains all its functions, and a specific button is
dedicated as the bridged-to appearance from the primary telephone.
Bridged call appearances have to be assigned to phones with double-lamp buttons, or lights.
The telephone 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 telephone, 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 telephone.
A call to this telephone lights the button and, if activated, rings at the bridged-to appearance
on the secondary telephone.
