6867i Preferred Line Support
Implemented in Release 3.3.1 SP4, Administrators and users can now specify a pre-
ferred line settings. If defined, the phone will automatically switch to the preferred
line after a call ends or when dialing out to make a call. The amount of time it takes for
the phone to switch back to the preferred line can also be specified.
Administrators can configure this feature using the “
preferred line
” and “
preferred
line timeout
” parameters using the configuration files or by navigating to
Basic Set-
tings > Preferences > General
on the Aastra Web UI.
Users can configure these parame-
ters using the Aastra Web UI only.
The following table provides the behavior of the preferred line feature when used in
conjunction with other features on the phone:
Phone Feature
Preferred Line Behavior
Last Call Return
The phone switches back to the focused line immediately after the call ends.
Speed dial
The line is already specified when the speed dial is created. The phone switches
back immediately after the call ends.
Conference
For incoming calls, the phone switches back immediately after the call ends.
Transfer
For incoming or outgoing calls, the current behavior is that the same line used
to transfer the call does not change. For incoming calls, the phone switches
back immediately after the call transfers.

Voicemail
The phone switches back immediately after the call ends.
Redial

Dialing
For incomplete dialing on a non-preferred line, the focus does not change if
some digits are entered.
If no digits are entered or digits were cleared, the focus changes to preferred
line after the time out has passed without activities.
Caller ID
If the Switch UI Focus To Ringing Line parameter is disabled, the User is able to
see the Caller ID when the phone switches the focus to the ringing line.
Factory Default
Factory default and recovery mode clears the preferred line and preferred line
timeout parameters, and the phone operates in a non-preferred line mode.
Notes:
•
If the
Preferred Line
parameter is defined as “
0
”, the feature is disabled.
•
If
Preferred Line Timeout
parameter is defined as “
0
”, the phone switches back to
the preferred line immediately.
