by an assistant logged in to one or more phones. In any case, the total number of
logged in primary and secondary phones cannot exceed six.
For the current release, the primary and secondary telephone (or phones) must be
located on the same site.
Your administrator can also set up bridged extensions. In this case, fields on your
Bridge Permissions
and the
Button Mappings
tabbed pages have preassigned
values.
Bridged Line Interaction with Other Features
Calls to a bridged extension can be managed by a primary user or a secondary user,
like non-bridged calls. For example, bridged calls can be parked, put on hold,
transferred, or conferenced.
A call to a bridged extension can be affected by call coverage points, call forwarding
settings, and Do Not Disturb settings on the primary and secondary phones.
Calls to a bridged extension that are not answered always follow the call coverage point
configured for the primary phone, or, if call forwarding is enabled, the appropriate call
forward setting for the primary phone.
If all the bridge lines are in use, a call to the primary extension rings on a primary
telephone SA line and does not ring on the secondary phone. If all bridge lines and SA
lines are in use on the primary, a call is forwarded to the Call Forward - Busy destination
configured for the primary phone.
Topics in this section describe how bridged calls are handled when certain VCX features
are invoked by the primary telephone user, the secondary telephone user, or both
users.
Do Not Disturb and Bridged Line Calls
If the primary telephone enables Do Not Disturb and a call rings on a secondary phone,
there is no call indication on the primary phone—the telephone does not ring and the
BSA light does not blink. Once the call is answered or put on hold, the primary phone’s
BSA light does indicate call status.
If the primary telephone enables Do Not Disturb, a call goes directly to the primary
phone’s call coverage point if:
All secondary phones have enabled Do Not Disturb
No secondary telephone is available
If the primary telephone enables Do Not Disturb and no secondary telephone
answers the call, the call goes to the primary phone’s Call Forward destination when
the Call Forward - Ring No Answer ring timeout value is reached.
If a secondary telephone enables Do Not Disturb and other secondary phones are
available (or the primary telephone is available), the call rings on one of the other
phones.
If a secondary telephone enables Do Not Disturb and no other secondary phones
are available, the call rings on the primary and there is no indication of the call on the
secondary phone.
