This first page of 8 Aux buttons has bridged
extensions and EC500 features.
Aux Buttons and Bridged Lines
Aux buttons are particularly useful for monitoring and managing other people's extensions, for example, for
answering your boss's calls. If an Aux button has a bridged line associated with it pressing the Aux button is the
same as selecting the line directly and pressing the line button.
•
If a line is on Hold, pressing the Aux button resumes the call.
•
If a line is ringing, pressing the Aux button answers the call.
•
If your boss or someone else for whom you have a bridged extension is on the line (Aux button LED is
lighted), you can press that Aux button to join the call. For example, when the bridged extension is in use,
and you get an incoming call to that same line, you can conference the caller into the existing call.
Note: Use the Aux button for anything you need to do with a bridged line – to answer a call, to resume a call on
hold, or to join an existing call. Use the Aux button LED and the icon on the Aux button label to view the status
of a bridged line.
