Making and Answering Calls

Landline Calls

To make landline calls on your Aastra MBU 400 phone you must have a telephone 
line connected to the MBU base unit through the 

LINE

 port, and PSTN calls must be 

enabled by the system administrator. If landline calls are disabled, you may not see 
any of the landline options on your Aastra 420d handset. If landline calls are enabled 
but no telephone line is connected to the system, landline calls will not connect to a 
dialtone. For more information see the 

Aastra MBU 400 Administrator Guide

 or 

contact your system administrator.

When you make and receive landline calls, the following icons display:

Making a Landline Call

If your primary line is set as Landline

, do the following to make a landline call:

1.  In Idle mode, enter the number you want to dial.

2.  Press the green key 

.

If your primary line is set as VoIP

 and you want to make a landline call, do the 

following:

1.  In Idle mode, enter the number you want to dial.

2.  Press the 

Options

 softkey.

3.  Select 

Call on landline

, and press OK

.

Intercom Calls

You can register up to 8 handsets with the same gateway, and you can have up to 8 
different VoIP accounts provided they belong to the same Internet Telephony Service 
Provider. However, you can only have 4 active calls at a time: 3 Internet calls and 1 
landline call.

Note: 

If you use Call Groups, you should only include up to 6 handsets in a Call 

Group, because only 6 handsets at a time can receive incoming calls.

If you have more than one handset you can make intercom calls and transfer calls 
between handsets. You can answer incoming calls on any of the registered handsets, 
and if you reject a call on one handset you can still answer the call on another 
registered handset. By default the Contacts List and Call Log are shared between all 
handsets. To make the Contacts List or Call Log private instead of shared, contact 
your System Administrator or see the 

Aastra MBU 400 Administrator Guide
