Bridged Call Appearance

Last Updated : Oct 03, 2016 |

Use the Bridged Call Appearance feature to give single-line and multiappearance telephones an appearance of another telephone number. With Bridged Call Appearance, the user can originate, answer, and bridge onto calls to or from the telephone number of another user.

The terms primary number, primary telephone, and primary station all mean the same thing. The primary number is the extension that you want other extensions to bridge onto. For example, if you want extension A as the primary number to also have call appearances on extensions B, C, and D, the administrator must access extensions B, C, and D using the Station screen, and bridge each extension to extension A.

The Bridged Call Appearance feature works on the following telephones:

Single-line telephone

A single-line telephone can be the primary number, meaning that it can have a bridged appearance on another telephone. A single-line telephone can also have a bridged appearance of either another single-line telephone or a multiappearance telephone.

Multiappearance telephone

A multiappearance telephone can be the primary number, meaning that it can have a bridged appearance on another telephone. A multiappearance telephone can have a bridged appearance of a single-line telephone or one or more appearances of a multiappearance telephone. A multiappearance telephone can also have bridged appearances of multiple telephone numbers.
