About this task
With the Avaya Aura
®
and Multiple Device Access feature, you can have up to ten devices
configured with the same extension number. You can use this extension number to transfer active
calls between your devices.
Before you begin
Ensure that the system administrator has activated the Multiple Device Access feature (MDA) for
your extension.
Procedure
1. Initiate a call from your phone.
2. To transfer the call to another phone, press Bridge on your phone.
If the MDA phone that is joining the call uses a different signaling mode address family, you
might notice the Limited Service icon appear on your device for a brief moment. After the
MDA phone that is joining the call switches to using the signaling mode address family of
the active call, the icon disappears.
