Avaya 1040E User Manual

MADN, Do Not Disturb, and Call Forwarding features also affect the 
appropriate line key icon of the account.

You can place a call using any of the registered user accounts. The 
selected user account determines which proxy is used, which domain 
name is used for the call target if none was specified, who the target sees 
is calling, and what service package-dependent features are available.

The ways to initiate an outgoing call fall into two categories: 

•

always using the primary user’s account

•

using a different, explicitly selected account. The usual way to select 
an alternate account is to press the line key of that account to obtain 
a dialing prompt.

If you initiate dialing by pressing digits from the Idle screen, the primary 
account is used after you lift the handset, press the 

 key or press 

the handsfree key. The same applies if you initiate a call from the inbox, 
outbox or Instant Messages screen.

Similarly, the primary account is used when a dial prompt is first obtained 
after you lift the handset, press the handset key, or press the 

 

key, and the call is initiated by pressing digits from the Idle screen or by 
pressing the 

 context-sensitive soft key.

If you initiate a call by pressing a line key, the user account associated 
with that line key is used when the call is initiated.

If you initiate a call from the Address Book or Friends list, the account that 
is selected to display the list, is the same account that establishes the 
call. For more information, see 

 and 

““Menu features” on page 295.

In all cases, if you initiate the call by pressing a line key, then the account 
associated with that particular line key takes precedence.

For example, pressing Line Key 1 to obtain a dial prompt, dialing, then 
pressing Line Key 2 initiates the call using the account associated with
