available to associated secondary telephones. If all three lines are in use
and you make a fourth call, that call is on a bridged extension line.
Modifying Bridged
Extensions
You can modify bridged extensions on a primary telephone at any time.
Bridged extensions do not need to be on adjacent buttons on a primary
or a secondary telephone. You can have a different number of bridged
extensions on a primary and a secondary telephone.
Sample Calling
Situations Using
Bridged Extensions
This section describes typical telephone call situations involving bridged
extensions on primary and secondary telephones. For all the examples:
■
The primary telephone is an 3Com Business telephone (extension
1027) used by a manager (Alicia). This telephone has buttons 2, 3,
and 4 defined as bridged extension buttons. Button 1 is the manager’s
private line.
■
One secondary telephone, a 3Com Business Telephone (extension
1051), is used by the manager’s assistant (Bradley). On this telephone,
buttons 1, 2, and 3 are extension appearances for extension 1051 and
buttons 4, 5, and 6 are configured as bridged extension appearances
of the manager’s telephone (1027).
■
The other secondary telephone is also an 3Com Business Telephone
(extension 1018). The telephone is used by the person (Connie) who
answers the manager’s telephone whenever the manager’s assistant is
not available. Buttons 10, 11, and 12 are configured as bridged
extension appearances of the manager’s telephone (1027).
Example 1: If there are no active calls on Alicia’s telephone, a call made
to her telephone from either an internal or outside telephone rings on
button 2 on her telephone, button 4 on Bradley’s telephone and button
10 on Connie’s telephone.
Bradley answers the call by pressing button 4. After identifying the
person who is calling, Bradley places the call on hold and informs Alicia of
the call. Alicia presses button 2 on her telephone to take the call.
During the time that Bradley is talking to the caller, neither Alicia nor
Connie can access the call. Alicia can pick up the call only after it is placed
on hold by Bradley. Similarly, after Alicia picks up the call, neither Bradley
nor Connie can access the call. If Alicia wants to include either Bradley or
Connie in the call, she can set up a conference call.
