3.5 Handling an Incoming Call

Bria Professional must be running to answer incoming calls. (If Bria Professional is not running, incoming calls
may be directed to voicemail; check with your system administrator.)

Bria Professional rings and information about the incoming call
appears in the Call entry field. In addition, the Call Alert box appears,
even if Bria Professional is minimized. For information on call alerts,
see “Preferences – Alerts & Sounds” on page 53.

The softphone address of the person calling you is displayed. The
display name may also appear.

Ending a Call

Click End on the Call panel. Details of the call remain on the call display. To clear the call display, click Clear.

Auto Answer

To turn auto answer off and on, in the Call panel click Options > Auto Answer. The AA icon appears in the call
display.

Auto answer is initially configured to auto-answer after one ring, and to send only your audio when the call is
established. You can change this configuration; see “Preferences – Advanced” on page 61.

Auto answer is automatically turned off when you shut down or log off.
