Bridged Extensions
With a bridged extension, buttons and status lights on one telephone are
associated with buttons and status lights on another telephone. On the
primary telephone, you can perform all operations (such as dialing
telephone calls, placing calls on hold, forwarding calls, and so on). On the
secondary telephone, you can answer calls that are made to the primary
telephone’s extension but you cannot make calls using the buttons that
are associated with the primary telephone.
The administrator can create bridged extensions to the 3Com Cordless
Telephone’s third and fourth Access buttons, if an NBX Attendant
Console is associated with it. The administrator creates the bridged
extensions on the Attendant Console. See
“Programmable Access
Buttons” in Chapter 2 for more information about Access buttons.
Example:
If an assistant’s job is to answer a manager’s telephone calls, the
administrator can map the manager’s extension on the assistant’s
telephone. The manager’s telephone is the primary telephone, and the
assistant’s telephone is the secondary telephone.
Your administrator can map a primary telephone’s extension to one or
more secondary telephones.
Using Pulse Dialing
In some locations, analog telephone users must dial telephone calls using
pulse dialing instead of tone dialing (also called Dual Tone Multi
Frequency, or DTMF , dialing).
Your administrator must configure the Analog Line Card ports for pulse
dialing.
Examples:
■
Some of your telephone lines are provided by a telephone company
that supports only pulse dialing while other lines are provided by a
different telephone company that supports DTMF dialing.
■
Your organization’s telephone service provider offers low-cost,
pulse-dialing-only service.
