About Bridged Call Appearances
Your phone may show a bridged call appearance on the display screen in addition to your
own call appearances. A bridged call appearance typically belongs to someone else, but
bridging allows you to see if that call appearance is in use, answer calls on that call
appearance, or join a call in progress on that call appearance from your telephone. You
can also make outgoing calls on a bridged call appearance when it is not in use.
Answering a call on a bridged call appearance
To answer a call on a bridged call appearance, press the call/line appearance button
associated with the bridged call appearance.
Note:
The ringing bridged call appearance may be selected automatically if there are no other
active calls. If the ringing appearance is displayed, you can answer by picking up the
handset or by pressing the Speaker button. If you are on another call when a call comes
in to a bridged call appearance, you may have to select the ringing call appearance button
(just like for an incoming call to a primary line).
Joining a call on a bridged call appearance
To join an existing call on a bridged call appearance, press the call/line appearance button
associated with the bridged call appearance.
Making an outgoing call on a bridged call appearance
When you make a call on a bridged call appearance, you are using another person’s call
appearance. The caller ID may show the call as coming from you or coming from the
person whose call appearance you are using. If you have any questions about how the
name or extension displays to the person you are calling, contact your system
administrator.
1. Press the call/line appearance button associated with the bridged call
appearance.
2. Dial the telephone number.
About Shared Line Appearances
If your call processing system is an Avaya Distributed Office system and depending on
how it is configured, your phone may show shared line appearances on the display screen
in addition to your own lines. A shared line appearance is a line that is shared among
multiple users. You can answer a call, join a call in progress, and make an outgoing call
on a shared line appearance. You can make only outside calls on line appearances. The
procedures to answer, join, and make a call on a shared line appearance are similar as
those for a bridged appearance. But instead of using another person's line, you are using
a shared line.
