Bridging an extension requires three steps:
1
On the telephone whose extension you want to bridge (for example,
extension 1000):
a
Log in to the VCX User Interface, select the
My Extensions
option,
then access the
Bridge Permissions
tabbed page.
b
Specify the extension (for example, extension 1001) that you want to
receive a bridged call and click
Add
.
The bridged telephone can identify up to five telephone numbers to
bridge with, but the number of extensions it can actually bridge is
determined by the maximum number of contacts that the system
administrator has set up for the phone, which may be fewer than four.
If you bridge a telephone that is a remote phone, that remote telephone
will not appear in the VCX User Interface Bridged Phones list, but does
appear in the administrator’s Bridged Phones list.
2
On the telephone that will receive a bridged call (in this example,
extension 1001):
a
Log in to the VCX User Interface, select the
My Extensions
option,
then access the
Button Mappings
tabbed page.
b
Map the bridged extension (in this example, extension 1000) to an
System Appearance (SA) button (either SA 4, SA 5, or both buttons)
and click
Save
.
You should not bridge an extension to a Basic telephone (Models 2101 or
3101) because these phones have no programmable buttons. Therefore,
a Basic telephone has no way of distinguishing a call to its extension and
a bridged call.
3
For the bridged line settings to take effect, the telephone must retrieve
the new settings from the VCX server. By default, phones check the VCX
server for new information every 60 minutes (the telephone registration
interval). To retrieve bridged line settings, you can use one of the
following options:
■
Wait for the telephone registration interval to expire (60 minutes or
less, depending on when the last registration occurred).
■
Log off and then log on to the phone.
In this example, an incoming call to extension 1000 will also ring on
extension 1001 on line 4 or on line 5 (or both lines) depending what you
selected in step 2b.
