[cisco-voip] Line appearance

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

i believe the only way around this is to use the system parameter "always use prime line". i think the auto-call select is used for a call coming in which will change the "focus" of the screen to that incoming call and update the softkeys accordingly. 

I think the BLF is supposed to make things easier because the line doesn't actually ring? 




Always Use Prime Line : 	This parameter specifies whether the primary line on an IP phone will be selected, if available, when the user goes off-hook. If this parameter is set to True, when a phone goes off-hook, the primary line gets chosen and becomes the active line. Even if a call is ringing on the user's second line, going off-hook makes only the first line active; it does not answer the ringing call on the second line. In this case, the user must choose he second line to answer the call. If this parameter is set to False, the IP phone automatically chooses an available line as the active line.

Hi all, 



We have users who are used to have a line status about the boss. If he’s on the line, the line button is red. Simple. When we migrate those people to IP, they can’t do that anymore. The problem is that if a call comes in to the boss, but at the same time the employee goes off hook to place a call, she gets the boss’s call. Then the boss isn’t happy. Sometimes we need the employee to answer the calls for the boss and sometimes we need it to know only if the boss is on the line or not. This was very easy on our legacy pbx. 



I thought that the BLF was going to help me out, but I don’t have all that presence stuff enabled. Then I saw a thread about an Auto Call Select parameter on the phone but can’t find it in UCM 7.1(5). Or another one about an Auto Call Pickup. Does it really have to be that complicated to just have a line appearance? 



Does anyone have a similar issue? 



Thanks and regards. 



Sandy.
