Declining an incoming call
You can
decline an incoming call by pressing the Decline context-sensitive soft key. You can
decline a call with or without giving a reason. You can create custom decline reasons, and you
have the option of selecting one. If you do not choose a custom decline reason, the IP
Deskphone sends the default message: User has declined call.
Note:
The Call Decline feature is not available for all call servers. Contact your system
administrator or service provider to determine if this feature is available to you.
The treatment that an incoming call receives when Call Decline is invoked depends upon the
call server. In a SIP environment, the caller receives a Call Declined message, and they no
longer hear ring back. In a non-SIP environment, the caller can continuously hear a ring
back.
