Additional Features
Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout
The 6753i has a feature 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 Aastra Web UI at the
location, Basic Settings->Preferences->General. You can also set a preferred 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.
Note: You can configure “Preferred Line” and “Preferred Line Timeout” using
the Aastra Web UI only.
Phone Feature Preferred Line Behavior

the call ends.
speeddial The line is already specified when the speeddial is created. The
phone switches back immediately after the call ends.
conference For incoming calls, the phone switches back immediately after
the call ends.

same line used to transfer the call does not change. For incoming

transfers.

change if some digits are entered.
If no digits are entered or digits were cleared, the focus changes
to preferred line after the time out has passed without activities.
caller id If the "Switch UI Focus To Ringing Line" parameter is disabled,
the User is able to see the Caller ID when the phone switches the
focus to the ringing line.
factory default Factory default and recovery mode clears the "preferred line" and
"preferred line timeout" parameters, and the phone operates in a
non-preferred line mode.
Notes:
1. If you specify a value of “0” for the preferred line parameter, it
disables the preferred line focus feature.
2. If you specify a value of “0” for the preferred line timeout
parameter, the phone returns the line to the preferred line immediately.
