Creating and Managing Bridged Extensions 155
You define any one telephone as either a primary telephone or a
secondary telephone, but not both. If the telephone has an 1105
Attendant Console associated with it, the bridged extension functions for
the telephone extend to the Attendant Console. For example, if you
configure an NBX Basic Telephone with an associated Attendant Console,
you can define that configuration as a primary telephone with up to 11
bridged extensions.
You can define any of the upper 11 buttons in the right hand row on a
primary telephone, including the second and third extension appearance
buttons (by default, buttons 2 and 3 on an NBX Business Telephone) as
bridged extension buttons. Before you can create a bridged extension on
a telephone, you must unlock the button settings in the telephone group
button mappings dialog box for the telephone group to which the
telephone belongs.
You can view a report that lists the primary and secondary telephones on
which bridged extensions have been defined. See “Viewing
Bridged Extension Information” later in this chapter.
When you define bridged extension appearances on a primary telephone:
■
Incoming calls appear on the bridged extension buttons first, followed
by the buttons (if any) associated with the primary telephone’s
extension. For example, by default, buttons 1, 2, and 3 are extension
appearances of the primary telephone. If you define buttons 4, 5, 6,
and 7 as bridged extensions of the primary telephone, incoming calls
appear on primary telephone buttons in the order 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3.
■
Any bridged extension appearance that overlaps one of the defined
extension appearances for the primary telephone (by default, buttons
1, 2, and 3 on an NBX Business Telephone) take precedence over
those extension appearances. For example, if you define buttons 3, 4,
5, 6, and 7 as bridged extension appearances on the primary
telephone, incoming calls appear on primary telephone buttons in the
order 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2.
