Deskset-Handset Interaction
This section identifies similarities and operating interactions between the Deskset and the optional SB67040 Cordless Handset in
Call Appearance mode.
Answering a Call While Another Device is on a Call
The Deskset, Cordless Handset, and Cordless Headset all share the same extension number. If there is an active call, it must be
placed on hold before other calls can be placed or answered by one of the other extension devices. You must also switch control
to the device you want to use.
Incoming Calls
Incoming Calls appear on the Deskset and Cordless Handset, and both devices ring. If one device answers the call, the other
device stops ringing but its Call Appearance indicators reflect the status of the call. This behavior allows an additional incoming
call to appear on either device. If there is a subsequent incoming call, the device currently on an active call emits an abbreviated
ringtone but the other device does not.
Held Calls
Both the Handset and Deskset display held calls. The Deskset shows held calls in the Call Appearance screen. The Handset
displays the current held call with an option to cycle through the Call Deck (see
“Call Management” on page 78
) using
the or Navigation key. When there are held calls, either device can retrieve a held call.
Clocks
The Handset and the Deskset show the current date and time. The clocks on each of the devices run independently, and the
system updates the real time frequently. Because the clocks are independent, there may be occasions when the time shown on
each is slightly different.
Status
The Handset and the Deskset show the current DND and Call Forward All status. They also show the same notifications for new
calls and new messages. This status is broadcast from the Deskset to the Cordless Handset as new events occur. This ensures
the Handset status remains the same as the Deskset status.
