1187Bridged Call Appearance

■ Terminating Extension Group
TEG calls to the primary extension do not ring at the associated bridged
appearances. TEG calls cannot be answered or bridged onto from a bridged
appearance of the TEG member’s primary extension. The primary
telephone should not be assigned to a TEG.
■ Transfer
— Single-line telephones
A call cannot be transferred by an analog telephone if more than one
user is active on that call.
The primary telephone user, when no other bridges are active on the
call, can transfer the call using normal single-line transfer
procedures. Any attempt by a bridging user to bridge onto this call
during a successful transfer attempt is denied (a standard denial
response is returned to the bridged appearance).
An analog bridging user, alone on a bridged call, can transfer the
call, using normal transfer procedures. Any attempt by the primary
telephone user to bridge onto this call during a successful transfer
attempt is ignored; and any attempt to bridge on by a bridging user is
denied.
If the bridging user has no other available bridged appearances of
the primary extension (other than the one he or she is currently on),
the bridging user, after pressing the conference/transfer button, must
select a call appearance to be used for the transfer, before dialing the
number.
■ Multiappearance telephones
If the bridging user has at least one available bridged appearance of the
primary extension (other than the one he or she is currently on), the system
automatically selects a bridged call appearance for the transfer when the
conference/transfer button is pressed.
You can administer the system to automatically select the first idle
appearance if there is no idle appearance with an extension matching the
extension that is transferring the call.
If the primary user and the bridged user are both on the call when one user
transfers the call, the user performing the transfer becomes the controlling
user for the participation of both users on the conference. The controlling
user is immediately dropped from the call. When the noncontrolling user
hangs up, the appearance goes on soft hold. In this case, one of two things
must occur to disassociate the appearance from the call: all other parties on
the call hang up, or the controlling user rejoins the call and hangs up again.
