Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout
The 6735i has a feature called “preferred line” and “preferred line timeout”. If you enable the preferred line parameter on
your phone, after a call ends (incoming or outgoing), the display switches back to the preferred line. Next time you go
off-hook to make another call, you pickup on the preferred line. You can enable the preferred line parameter using the
Aastra Web UI at the location, Basic Settings->Preferences->General. You can also set a preferred timeout parameter
that specifies the number of seconds it takes for the phone to switch back to the preferred line.
The following table provides the behavior of the preferred line focus feature with other features on the phone.
Note:
You can configure “Preferred Line” and “Preferred Line Timeout” using the Aastra Web UI only.

immediately.
