Preferred Line And Preferred Line Timeout - Aastra 9000i Series Administrator's Manual

Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout

An Administrator or User can define a preferred line as well as a preferred timeout. If a
preferred line is selected, after a call ends (incoming or outgoing), the display switches back to the
preferred line. Next time you go off-hook, you pickup on the preferred line. You can specify the
number of seconds it takes for the phone to switch back to the preferred line using the "preferred
timeout" parameter.
An Administrator can configure the "preferred line" and the "preferred timeout" parameters
using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI. A User can configure these parameters using
the Aastra Web UI only.
The following table provides the behavior of the preferred line focus feature with other features on

to preferred line after the time out has passed without activities.
If the "Switch UI Focus To Ringing Line" parameter is disabled,
the User is able to see the Caller ID when the phone switches the
focus to the ringing line.
Factory default and recovery mode clears the "preferred line" and
"preferred line timeout" parameters, and the phone operates in a
non-preferred line mode.
