3com 3101 Manuel D’Utilisation

With a bridged extension, buttons and status lights on one telephone are 
associated with buttons and status lights on another telephone. On the 
primary telephone, you can perform all operations (such as dialing 
telephone calls, placing calls on hold, forwarding calls, and so on). On the 
secondary telephone, you can answer calls that are made to the primary 
telephone’s extension but you cannot make calls using the buttons that 
are associated with the primary telephone.

The administrator can create bridged extensions on:

■

Any NBX Business Telephone or NBX 3101 or 3101SP Basic Telephone

■

An NBX 2101 Basic Telephone if an NBX Attendant Console is 
associated with it. The administrator creates the bridged extension on 
the Attendant Console.

If an assistant’s job is to answer a manager’s telephone calls, the 
administrator can map the manager’s extension on the assistant’s 
telephone. The manager’s telephone is the primary telephone, and the 
assistant’s telephone is the secondary telephone.

(NBX Business Telephone and Attendant Console only) The 
Delayed Ringing feature prevents a call on a shared line from ringing on a 
specific telephone until the incoming call rings on another telephone for 
a specified number of times.

The administrator programs (maps) a telephone extension to appear on 
both a manager’s telephone and the assistant’s telephone; that is, it is a 
bridged extension. The administrator has also enabled the Delayed 
Ringing feature on the manager’s telephone and has specified 4 rings (a 
typical setting).
