Good day,

 

I have become aware of a problem that our users are having when multiple lines are assigned to a phone. On our Soundpoint IP sets we have the prime line 1, then added additional lines to buttons 2, 3 etc... When a call is coming in to a Multi Line Hunt Group in which all lines are members, as expected all lines ring. When the user goes to pick up the call the phone set is choosing to answer L2 instead of L1.

 

How do I get the set to prime answer on L1 at all times?

 

We use a MetaSwitch here with their SIP PS, a ticket opened with them responded with seek an answer from Polycom. Has anyone run into a similar issue before I open a formal ticket?

 

Thanks

Todd

Hello all,

 

welcome to the Polycom Community.

The phones standard configuration is to always select Line 1 when the handset is lifted.

 

This is the same for making an outbound call.

 

If a specific line should be answered simply pressing the line key on multiple incoming calls will select that line in focus.

 

Adding a configuration like:

 

<polycom up.offHookAction.none="1" />

 will prevent the phone from automatically selecting Line 1 when lifting the handset on multiple incoming calls.

 

I am not aware of any issues that the phone would select Line 2 rather than Line 1 and we would require you to report this via your Polycom reseller.

Hi,

 

I have the same query and would like to know how to setup polycom to answer on a specific line when there are incoming calls  ringing on different lines.

 

I have two lines configured with polycom 650. When both rings and lift the phone it should answer the call on first line.

 

Please let me know if someone has found answer for this.

Can a Polycom rep add any insight into this please?
