Line appearance on 5212 IP phone
Line Appearance keys are required in order to receive incoming calls and to make outgoing
calls. The LED on the programmed key indicates the status of the Line Appearance.
• Key is unlit - the Line Appearance is available for an incoming or outgoing call.
• Key is flashing green with a ring tone - an incoming call is available to be answered.
• Key is flashing red without a ring tone - a call is on hold.
• Key is solid - If this is green, then a call is active. If this is red, then a twinned call is active
on the twinned target phone.
When you have multiple Line Appearance keys, they are ordered from bottom to top. An
incoming call will appear on the first available Line Appearance key.
Your phone will normally have two or three pre-programmed Line Appearances. To be able to
handle more simultaneous calls, you must program additional keys with Line Appearance.
Message on the 5212 IP phone
Using the key, you can connect directly to voice mail to retrieve messages or manage
voice mail options. The Message Waiting indicator on the phone lights up if messages are
waiting.
Monitor Groups on 5212 IP phone
Using the Monitor Groups feature, your calls can be monitored and answered by other users
or you can have your phone monitored for activity. To enable the Monitor feature, contact your
administrator and provide a list of users that you would like to have monitor your calls or phone.
The administrator will create a Monitor group in your name with the people in your list as
members of the group. There is no other action that needs to be taken on your part.
If you requested to have your calls monitored, calls to one or more of your Line Appearances
will automatically ring on your Monitor group member phones provided that they have configured
the appropriate number of Monitor Calls or Monitor Call Silent keys on their phone.
When a member of your Monitor group has answered one of your calls, the Line Appearance
on your phone will still indicate the state of the call.
• A flashing key without a ring tone indicates that the call is on hold.
• A lit key indicates that the Line Appearance is in use.
If you requested to have your phone monitored, when your phone is in use the group members
phones will show a lit LED against the Monitor Phone key they have configured on their phone.
Note: By putting a call on hold, either the primary group member or other phones in the
group can pick up the call.
Your call coverage still applies when you are in a monitor group.
A Monitor Phone key also acts a speed dial to the monitored extension.
Monitor Groups is only applicable to users who are using Mitel IP phones.
