Exception: When a new call appearance is selected automatically when user presses SK(conf) or
SK(xfer), the SPA-841 will attempt to pick an idle call appearance that is on the same Extension as the
last active call. If that cannot be found, the SPA-841 then tries to pick one whose Extension has the same
Proxy server as the last active call. Finally, it picks the first idle call available in the order L1, L2, L3, and
L4.
Making Calls
There are 2 steps in making a call: 1) Select an audio device, and 2) Dial the number. SPA-841 lets the
user perform these 2 steps in either order. That is, the user can select an audio device before or after
dialing. SPA-841 also supports 2 types of dialing: explicit or implicit. Explicit dialing refers to one of the
following cases:
•
enter the target number digits one by one
•
enter the speed dial of the target number
•
select an entry from a directory and press SK(dial)
•
a dedicate hard key is pressed, such as the VM key
Implicit dialing refers to the case where a number or an entry in a directory is highlighted. When a number
implicitly dialed, the user can simply select an audio device or call appearance to have the selected
dialed.
Only explicit dialing is supported if an audio device is selected prior to dialing. Both explicit and implicit
dialing are allowed if audio device is selected after dialing. In particular, explicit dialing before audio
device is selected is known as
on-hook dialing
.
By selecting an audio device before dialing, you also indirectly select a call appearance for making the
call. SPA-841 will pick the first available call appearance (starting from Line Key 1). If no call appearances
are available, no audio devices can be selected.
On the other hand, the user can explicitly select a call appearance by pressing the corresponding Line
key, which indirectly selects an audio device. If the handset is off-hook, it will be the default audio device.
Otherwise the default device is the one set in <Preferred Audio Device>, which is also configurable from
the Phone GUI (

Answering Calls
The Line key LED blinks rapidly in red on incoming calls. The user can answer the call by:
•
Selecting an audio device. The SPA-841 will answer the ringing call. If there is more than 1 call
ringing at the moment, the call is picked up in ascending order of the Line key number.
•
Pressing the corresponding Line Key. The default audio device will be selected automatically.
Ending Calls
A call can be ended by the user if it is in an active state, by turning off the currently selected audio device,
or by pressing the corresponding Line key. A call in a standby state cannot be ended; it must be brought
back to an active state before it can be ended.
Hold and Resume
The user can place all connected calls on hold by a) explicitly pressing the Hold key, or b) pressing
another Line Key (to answer an incoming all, resume a held call, or start a new call). When a call is on
