IP Phone Administrator Guide

You can configure whether or not an incoming call interrupts an outgoing call that 
is dialing. The “Incoming Call Interrupts Dialing” (Web UI) parameter or 
“incoming call cancels dialing” (in config file) parameter controls this feature.

When you enable this parameter (1 = enable), an incoming call interrupts the 
outgoing call during dialing and allows the phone to ring for the user to answer the 
incoming call.

When you disable this parameter (0 = disable), which is the default, the phone 
does not interrupt the outgoing call during dialing and the number you were 
dialing continues to display in the LCD. The phones sends the incoming call to a 
free line on the phone (or sends busy signal if all remaining lines are busy) and the 
LED for that line blinks. You have a choice to ignore the incoming call, or answer 
the incoming call on another line, via the Ignore and Answer softkeys that 
display. If you choose to answer the incoming call, you can answer the call, finish 
the call, and then hang up. You can still go back to the original outgoing call and 
finish dialing out.

On a 9143i, 6751i, and 6753i, you must use the down arrow key to 

ignore the call. To answer the call you must press the line key where the 
call is coming in.
2.

For all models, if you disable this parameter (0=disable), and the 

phone receives an incoming call while you are dialing an outgoing call, 
you can pick up the call and perform transfer or conference as required.
3.

This feature works only if the User selects a line for which to dial 

out. It is recommended that the Administrator always keeps Live Dialpad 
ON in order for the User to have to select a line before dialing out.
