Bridged Call Appearance 
20
You can administer the call forwarding all calls and call forwarding 
busy/don’t answer buttons to activate Call Forwarding for any extension 
that is on the telephone, even if this extension is a bridged appearance. In 
addition, you can administer the lamp associated with the call forwarding 
button to track the call forwarding status of any extension. In this way, a 
bridged user can activate or deactivate Call Forwarding for all primary and 
bridged appearances of the extension from the bridged appearance 
telephone, and the bridged appearance telephone shows the call forwarding 
status of the specified extension.
You can administer the send all calls button to activate Send All Calls for 
any administered extension. The lamp associated with Send All Calls 
tracks the status of the administered extension. In this way, a bridged user 
can activate Send All Calls for the primary extension user.
Considerations for single-line telephones
The number of bridged call appearances allowed varies by system. See 
DEFINITY ECS System Description for those numbers. A bridging user 
cannot have more than one bridged appearance for a particular primary 
telephone. However, a multiappearance bridging user can have appearances 
of more than one analog telephone on their telephone (a multiappearance 
bridging user, by use of different buttons, can bridge onto several different 
primary telephones). 
The number of bridged appearances allowed on a multiappearance bridging 
user’s telephone is limited only by the number of 2-lamp buttons available 
on the telephone.
If the primary single-line telephone is correctly administered, but not in 
service, calls can still be placed by the bridging users, and received on the 
bridged appearances of the telephone. The primary telephone can be out of 
service for several reasons, such as an unplugged telephone, a nonexistent 
telephone system technician busyout command, etc.
If more than one user goes off-hook on a bridged appearance at the same 
time, only the user who was the first to go off-hook can dial.
If a bridging user is not active on a call, and bridges onto the appearance of 
an active call, the user is bridged onto the active call. If a multiappearance 
bridging user is active on a call, and bridges onto the appearance of an 
active call, the previously selected call is dropped and the user is bridged 
onto the active call.
The Privacy-Manual Exclusion feature can be activated by the bridging 
user only, while active on a call, to prevent accidental bridging of an active 
call.
