Ribbon Communications Features
The following features are available when your administrator configures your
phone with Ribbon Communications.
Ribbon Communications Multiple Appearance Directory
Number - Single Call Appearance
Register your phone with the Ribbon Communications server to use Multiple
Appearance Directory Number - Single Call Appearance (MADN-SCA). With
MADN-SCA, you can share a single line with other contacts in a Multiple
Appearance Directory Number (MADN) group.
System administrators assign members to MADN groups. MADN groups support a
maximum of 32 members. Any MADN member can place, answer, hold, resume, or
barge in on calls on the shared line. Additionally, all group members can view the
status of a call on the shared line.
Check with your system administrator to find out if this feature is available on your
phone.

Any MADN member can place a call on the shared line.

with a steady red LED light on the line key of the members' phones.
Only one call at a time can be active on the shared line. If a call is received on the
shared line with an active call in place, the incoming call is sent to voicemail.
