Using a Paired Phone
If you frequently work between two locations in the office, your phone system
administrator may associate your primary phone with another phone The paired
phone inherits the phone buttons from the primary phone, up to the total number of
buttons available on the phone model.
When using a paired phone, be aware that it functions somewhat differently from
an IP phone:
• Basic phone functions are the same on both phones. You can resume a held
call from either phone. On Cisco SPA phones, the phone button lights show
the status of calls. For more information, see Status Indicators, page 21.
• A paired phone has no soft key to forward all calls. It uses the call forward
settings that are configured by the phone system administrator.
• Pressing the Do Not Disturb (DND) softkey on a primary phone will prevent
calls from ringing on the phone; however, calls will ring on the paired phone.
A call is not diverted to the Call Forward No Answer destination until the
timeout limit is reached. Pressing the DND softkey on the paired phone will
divert calls to the specified Call Forward No Answer destination.
