Configuring Operational Features
Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout
An Administrator or User can define a preferred line as well as a preferred
timeout. If a preferred line is selected, after a call ends (incoming or outgoing),
the display switches back to the preferred line. Next time you go off-hook, you
pickup on the preferred line. You can specify the number of seconds it takes for
the phone to switch back to the preferred line using the “preferred timeout”
parameter.
An Administrator can configure the “preferred line” and the “preferred
timeout” parameters using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI. A User
can configure these parameters using the Aastra Web UI only.
The following table provides the behavior of the preferred line focus feature with
other features on the phone.

the call ends.
speeddial The line is already specified when the speeddial is created. The
phone switches back immediately after the call ends.
conference For incoming calls, the phone switches back immediately after
the call ends.
transfer For incoming or outgoing calls, the current behavior is that the
same line used to transfer the call does not change. For incoming
