Accessing the IP Deskphone

Making an emergency call
You can use the IP Deskphone to make an emergency call to the Public
Safety Answering Point (PSAP) from any accessible screen without
logging on.
When you pick up the handset, press the handsfree button or headset
button without logging on, a message “Emergency calls only” appears,
and the IP Deskphone can only be used to make an emergency call. All
context-sensitive soft keys and feature keys are blank and unusable
except for the second context-sensitive soft key which allows you to
switch between numeric and alphabetic characters. If you hang up before
the connection is established, the Avaya 1140E IP Deskphone returns to
the initial state.
Note: When the IP Deskphone is waiting for the user to log on or it is
blocked by a screen saver, you can still make an emergency call. If
you pick up the handset, a message "Emergency calls only" appears
and the IP Deskphone can be used for making only emergency calls.
