Parameter – 
incoming call cancels dialing

Incoming Call Interrupts 
Dialing
(in Web UI)

Basic Settings->Preferences->General

aastra.cfg, <mac>.cfg

Enables or disables how the phone handles incoming calls while the 
phone is dialing out.

When you enable this parameter (1 = true), 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 dialling 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.

Notes:
1. On a 9143i, 6751i, and 6753i, you must use the up and down arrow 
keys to ignore or answer the call.
2. On all phone 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.

After enabling or disabling this feature, it takes affect on the phone 
immediately.
