Call Answering
When more than one call rings at a telephone, the user lifts the handset and automatically answers
the call with the highest priority.
For more information about the Distinctive Line Ring feature, refer to the Business
Communications Manager Programming Operations Guide.
Line buttons
For each line assigned to your telephone, you have one line button. Press the flashing line button to
select the line you want to answer. Having several line buttons gives you immediate access to more
than one line.
The T7100 telephone has two intercom paths, instead of line buttons, to answer calls. You can
assign two lines to each T7100 telephone. You can press ≥ to switch between two calls, one
active and one on hold.
