Incoming Call Interrupts Dialing
If you are dialing a call on your phone and another call comes in while you are
dialing, you can allow the incoming call to interrupt dialing by enabling a parameter
called "
Incoming Call Interrupts Dialing ". You can enable or disable this
parameter in the Aastra Web UI at the path Basic Settings->Preferences->General .
When you enable this field in the Aastra Web UI, an incoming call automatically
interrupts the outgoing call during dialing and allows the phone to ring for you to
answer the incoming call.
When you disable this parameter, which is the default, the phone does not interrupt
the outgoing call during dialing and instead rings the incoming call on another free
line (or sends busy signal if all remaining lines are busy). You have a choice to ignore
the incoming call, or answer the incoming call on another line, via the
Ignore and
Answer softkeys that display. If you choose to answer the incoming call, you can
answer the call, finish the call, and then hang up. You can still go back to the original
outgoing call and finish dialing out.
Note: If you disable this field, and the phone receives an incoming call while
you are dialing an outgoing call, you can pick up the call and perform
transfer or conference as required.
