Enabling Bridged Extensions
97
The primary telephone user can make calls on a bridged line. The
secondary telephone user can answer calls that are made to the primary
phone’s extension but cannot make calls using the buttons that are
associated with the primary telephone. (In fact, the buttons on the
secondary telephone associated with the primary telephone function as
speed dial buttons to the primary phone.) Both users can use VCX
features to manage bridged calls. For example, bridged calls can be
transferred, put on hold, or forwarded to voice mail. However, because
multiple phones are involved, you should note the considerations
discussed in
Bridged Line Interaction with Other Features
.
When an extension is bridged, SA buttons (4 or 5) access buttons and
status lights on the secondary telephone are associated with the Bridged
System Appearance (BSA) access buttons and status lights on the primary
phone. Lights on each telephone indicate the state of each bridged line:
■
If the light is off, the bridged line is available for use on the primary
phone.
■
If the light is on, the bridged line is in use by either a primary
telephone user or a secondary telephone user.
■
If the light is blinking quickly, the bridged line is ringing on all primary
and secondary phones.
■
If the light is blinking slowly on both phones, the line has been put on
hold by either the primary telephone user or a secondary telephone
user. This indicates a shared hold state. The line can be picked up by
any telephone mapped to this bridged line.
Both primary and secondary users can be logged in to multiple phones.
For example, an administrative assistant (secondary user) can be logged in
to five phones and monitor a manager from any telephone as long as all
the secondary phones are configured with the same extension. Or, a
manager may be logged in to multiple phones and monitored 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.
