You can enable synchronization of the Call Waiting and Anonymous Call Rejection functions between a specific line and a BroadSoft server. When enabled, the line gets the latest status of the functions from the BroadSoft server, and the line can put the setting of the functions to the BroadSoft server. For example, if the functions are disabled on the BroadSoft server, the functions don't work on the line. If the user enables or disables the functions on the line, the setting modifies the status of the functions on the BroadSoft server.

The setting of the synchronization is only available for specific lines. The priority of the synchronized functions is higher than the local call waiting (CW Setting) and anonymous call blocking (Block ANC Setting) functions. The settings of the local functions are under the Supplementary Services section from Voice > User of the phone administration web page.

To enable synchronization of Call Waiting between a line and an XSI service, use the Call Waiting Enable field under the XSI Line Service section from Voice > Ext (n) of the phone administration web page.

To enable synchronization of Anonymous Call Rejection between a line and an XSI service, use the Block Anonymous Call Enable field under the XSI Line Service section from Voice > Ext (n) of the phone administration web page.
