Telephone Features
Bridged Call Appearance — Multi-Appearance
Telephone
Allows calls made to or from a primary telephone user’s extension number to be handled
from more than one telephone. A bridged call appearance is set up by administering a
primary extension and the button number associated with it on a multi-lamp button on
another telephone. One way this feature is most often used is by secretaries or assistants
who answer or handle calls to the primary extension (an executive, for example). When
the primary extension receives a call, the bridged call appearance flashes or rings on all
telephones administered with this feature. The call can be answered by anyone having a
telephone with this feature and handled as if the primary extension user was answering it.
The maximum number of bridged appearances has been expanded from 25 to 64 with
DEFINITY ECS R8.
Bridged Call Appearance — Single-Line
Tel epho ne
Allows single-line telephones users to have a bridged appearance on a multi-appearance
telephone.
Temporary Bridged Appearance
Allows multi-appearance telephone users in a terminating extension group or personal
central office line group to bridge onto an existing group call. If a call has been answered
using the Call Pickup feature, the originally called party can bridge onto the call. This
feature also allows a called party to bridge onto a call that redirects to coverage before
the called party can answer it.
Privacy — Manual Exclusion
Allows multi-appearance telephone users to keep other users with appearances of the
same extension number from bridging onto an existing call. Exclusion is activated by
pressing the Exclusion button on a per-call basis.
Privacy-Auto Exclusion
When the Class of Service is set for the Automatic Exclusion option, the feature is
activated when you take your telephone off-hook. The feature can be deactivated when
you push the Exclusion button before dialing a call or during a call. An excluded call that
is on hold can be taken off hold by any telephone that has a bridged appearance of the
telephone that put the call on hold.
