Additional Features
Auto-Answer/Play Warning Tone
The auto-answer feature on the IP phone allows your System Administrator to enable or disable automatic answering for
an Intercom call. If Auto-Answer is enabled, the phone automatically answers an incoming intercom call. If Play Warn-
ing Tone is also enabled, the phone plays a tone to alert you before answering the intercom call. If Auto-Answer is disa-
bled, the phone treats the incoming intercom call as a normal call. Auto-Answer and Play Warning Tone are enabled by
default.
Note:
Your Administrator can set a time period delay before the phone automatically answers. Contact your System Admin-
istrator for more information.
Microphone Mute
Your System Administrator can mute or unmute the microphone on the IP phone for intercom calls made by the origi-
nating caller. If you want to mute the intercom call, you enable this feature. If you want to unmute (or hear the intercom
call), you disable this feature. Microphone Mute is enabled by default.
Allow Barge In
Your System Administrator can configure whether or not the IP phone allows an incoming intercom call to interrupt an
active call. The Allow Barge In parameter controls this feature. When you enable the this parameter, which is the default
value, an incoming intercom call takes precedence over any active call, by placing the active call on hold and automati-
cally answering the intercom call. When you disable this parameter, and there is an active call, the phone treats an
incoming intercom call like a normal call and plays the call warning tone. Allow Barge In is enabled by default.

Message Waiting Indicator

Your System Administrator can configure the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) to illuminate for a specific line or for all
lines. For example, if the MWI LED is configured on line 2 only, the LED illuminates if a voice mail is pending on line 2. If
the MWI LED is configured for all lines, the LED illuminates if a voice mail is pending on any line on the phone.

Play Call Waiting Tone

Your System Administrator can enable or disable the playing of a call waiting tone when you are on an active call and a
new call comes into the phone.
Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout
The phone has two available features called Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout. If your System Administrator
enables the preferred line parameter on your phone, after a call ends (incoming or outgoing), the display switches back
to the preferred line. Then the next time you go off-hook to make another call, you pick up on the preferred line. Your
administrator can also set a preferred timeout that specifies the number of seconds it takes for the phone to switch back
to the preferred line.
The following table provides the behavior of the preferred line focus feature with other features on the phone.

Preferred Line Behavior
If the Switch UI Focus To Ringing Line parameter is disabled, you can see the Caller ID when the phone switches
the focus to the ringing line.
For incoming calls, the phone switches back immediately after the call ends.
For incomplete dialing on a non-preferred line, the focus does not change if some digits are entered.
If no digits are entered or digits were cleared, the focus changes to preferred line after the time out has passed
without activities.
