Step 6 Select your presence from the list.
• Available—You can take a call.
• Away—You have stepped away from the phone for a short time.
• Do not disturb—You don't want to take a call.
• Offline—You are not available to take calls. Typically, you use this presence when you leave the phone
for long periods of time.
Page a Group of Phones (Multicast Paging)
Your administrator can configure your phone as a part of a paging group. In a paging group, your phone can
automatically answer pages from other Multiplatform phones in the phone system. Each paging group has a
unique number associated with it. Your administrator gives you the configured paging group numbers. When
your phone is paged, you hear three short beeps. The phone establishes one-way audio between you and the
phone that called you. You do not have to accept the page.
Procedure
Dial the number of the paging group.
Multiple Lines
If you share phone numbers with other people, you could have multiple lines on your phone. When you have
multiple lines, you have more calling features available to you.
