Enabling Bridged Extensions 93
The primary phone user can make calls on a bridged line. The secondary
phone user can answer calls that are made to the primary phone’s
extension. Both users can use VCX features to manage bridged calls. For
example, bridged calls can be transferred, put on hold, or forwarded to
voice mail. However, because multiple phones are involved, you should
note the considerations discussed in Bridged Line Interaction with Other
Features.
Both primary and secondary users can be logged in to multiple phones.
For example, an administrative assistant (secondary user) can be logged in
to four phones and monitor a manager from any phone as long as all the
secondary phones are configured with the same extension. Or, a manager
may be logged in to multiple phones and monitored by an assistant
logged in to one or more phones. In any case, the total number of logged
in primary and secondary phones cannot exceed five.
For the current release, the primary and secondary phone (or phones)
must be located on the same site.
Your administrator can also set up bridged extensions. In this case, fields
on your Bridge Permissions and the Button Mappings tabbed pages
have preassigned values.

Interaction with
Other Features
Calls to a bridged extension can be managed by a primary user or a
secondary user, like non-bridged calls. For example, bridged calls can be
parked, put on hold, transferred, or conferenced.
A call to a bridged extension can be affected by call coverage points, call
forwarding settings, and Do Not Disturb settings on the primary and
secondary phones.
Calls to a bridged extension that are not answered always follow the call
coverage point configured for the primary phone, or, if call forwarding is
enabled, the appropriate call forward setting for the primary phone.
Topics in this section describe how bridged calls are handled when certain
VCX features are invoked by the primary phone user, the secondary
phone user, or both users.
Do Not Disturb and Bridged Line Calls
If the primary phone enables Do Not Disturb and a call rings on a
secondary phone, there is no call indication on the primary phone—the
