Configuring Operational Features
Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout
An Administrator or User can define a preferred line as well as a preferred 
timeout
. If a preferred line is selected, after a call ends (incoming or outgoing), 
the display switches back to the preferred line. Next time you go off-hook, you 
pickup on the preferred line. You can specify the number of seconds it takes for 
the phone to switch back to the preferred line using the “preferred timeout” 
parameter.
An Administrator can configure the “preferred line” and the “preferred 
timeout
” parameters using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI. A User 
can configure these parameters using the Aastra Web UI only.
The following table provides the behavior of the preferred line focus feature with 
other features on the phone.

to preferred line after the time out has passed without activities.
