Multi Address Appearance on OpenStage

Preselect mode 

determines the phone’s behaviour when a call is active, and another call is ringing. If 

the parameter is set to "Single button", the user can accept the call a single press on the line key. If it is 
set to "Preselection", the user must first press the line key to select it and then press it a second time to 
accept the call. In both cases, the options for a ringing call are presented to the user: "Accept", "Reject", 
"Deflect". 

 
Preselect timer 

sets the timeout for an incoming call. After the timeout has expired, the call is 

no longer available. 
 
With firmware V2, call bridging is available. When 

Bridging enabled 

is activated, the user may join into 

an existing call on a shared line by pressing the corresponding line key. On key press, the OpenScape 
Voice builds a server based conference from the existing call parties and the user. If the call has already 
been in a server based conference, the user is added to this conference.  
 

Remark: 

When bridging shall be used, it is highly recommended to configure the phone for a system 

based conferece (see Section 3.6.9, “System Based Conference”). This enables adding more users to a 
system based conference that has been initiated by bridging. This is a shared line only feature and not 
relevant for the MAA scenario. 
 

Line Preview 

 
The line preview settings are related to a specific FPK function. This FPK function enables the preview 
mode, which allows the user to preview a line before using it. When preview mode is active, the line 
keys behave similar to when the keyset configuration is set to preselection for line keys (see Section 
3.9.2, “Configure Keyset Operation”). On pressing the line key (not DSS key!), the call activity on the 
corresponding line is shown. Unlike with a preselected line, there will be no change to the phone’s 
current line connections. The LED indicates whether line preview is active or not. 
 
The information shown to the user depends on the ring/alert configuration for the line in question. If 
the line is configured to alert only, the preview will only show the state of the call, not the identity of 
the call party. If the line is configured to ring, the identitiy of the call party will be revealed. 
 
The preview mode can be configured as temporary or as permanent. If System > Features > Keyset 
operation > 

Preview mode

 is disabled, preview mode will end when the user uses the previewed line, 

or a new call is started in any other way, or if the focus is changed away from call view. If the 
parameter is enabled, preview mode remains active until the user cancels it by pressing the key again.  
 
The 

Preview timer

 parameter determines the timespan during which the line preview will remain on 

the screen. 
 
A dedicated line preview FPK can be administrated.
