Answer Calls
Your Cisco phone works just like a regular phone. But we make it easier for you to answer calls.
Answer a Call
Procedure
When your phone rings, press the flashing line button to answer the call.
Answer Call Waiting
When you are on an active call, you know that a call is waiting when you hear a single beep and see the line
button flash.
The Cisco IP Phone 7811 doesn't support call waiting.
Procedure
Step 1
Press the line button.
Step 2
(Optional) If you have more than one call waiting, select an incoming call.
Decline a Call
You can send a ringing call to your voicemail system (if configured) or to a preset phone number. If not set
up, the call is rejected and the caller hears a busy tone.
Procedure
Decline a call by performing one of the following actions:
• Press Decline.
• If you have multiple incoming calls, highlight the incoming call and press Decline.
Turn On Do Not Disturb
Use do not disturb (DND) to silence your phone and ignore incoming call notifications when you need to
avoid distractions.
