Configuring Call Waiting Tone Period
1. Click on Basic Settings > Preferences > General
2.
In the Call Waiting Tone Period field, enter a time period, in seconds, that the call waiting tone
will be audible on an active call when another call comes in. Default is 0 seconds.
When enabled, the call waiting tone plays at regular intervals for the amount of time set for this
parameter. For example, if set to 30 the call waiting tone plays every 30 seconds. When set to
0, the call waiting tone is audible only once on the active call.
3. Click Save Settings .
Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout
The 6940 has two parameters called preferred line and preferred line timeout. If you enable the
preferred line parameter on your phone, after a call ends (incoming or outgoing), the display switches
back to the preferred line. Next time you go off-hook to make another call, you pickup on the preferred
line. You can enable the
Preferred Line parameter using the Mitel Web UI at the location, Basic
Settings > Preferences > General
. You can also set a Preferred Line Timeout parameter that
specifies the number of seconds it takes for the phone to switch back to the preferred line.
The following table provides the behavior of the preferred line focus feature with other features on
the phone:
Phone Feature Preferred Line Behavior
Last Call Return The phone switches back to the focused line immediately after the call ends.
Speed Dial The line is already specified when the speed dial is created. The phone
switches back immediately after the call ends.
Conference For incoming calls, the phone switches back immediately after the call ends.
