Cisco Systems 7931G User Manual

Your phone may play an audible indicator to alert you when a call is ringing on the monitored line 
(BLF Pickup only). 

BLF Pickup answers the oldest ringing call first (if the line that you are monitoring has more than 
one ringing call). 

Depending on how your system administrator configured your phone system, your phone may support 
making and receiving secure calls. 

Your phone can support these types of calls:

Authenticated call—The identities of the phones participating in the call have been verified.

Encrypted call—The phone is receiving and transmitting encrypted audio (your conversation) 
within the Unified CM network. Encrypted calls are authenticated. 

Protected call—The phone is a secure (encrypted and trusted) device on the Unified CM server and 
is configured as a “Protected Device” in Unified CM Administration.

If “Play Secure Indication Tone” is enabled (True) in Unified CM Administration, the protected 
phone plays a secure or nonsecure indication tone at the beginning of the call:

When end-to-end secure media is established through the Secure Real-Time Transfer Protocol 
(SRTP) and the call status is secure, the phone plays the secure indication tone (three long 
beeps with brief pauses).

speed-dial line

Look for BLF indicators next to the line number:

 Line is in-use.

 Line is idle.

 

BLF- monitored line is ringing (BLF Pickup)

Use BLF Pickup to 
answer a call ringing on 
a coworker’s phone

While the line is ringing, press the BLF Pickup button 

.

The call is redirected to the next available line on your phone. (If you want 
to specify a line, first press a line button and then press the BLF button.)

If your phone supports auto-pickup, the call connects automatically. 
Otherwise, the call rings on your phone for you to answer.

If you press the BLF Pickup button when the monitored line is not ringing, 
your phone will speed dial the line number.
