Answering Calls on Shared Lines
Incoming calls to a shared line cause all registered phones to ring. You can answer the call on any of the
registered phones.
When you answer an incoming call, a green indicator light displays on the line key on all phones for the
shared line.
Missed and Received Calls on Shared Lines
If no phones answer a shared line call, it displays as missed on all registered phones. When on phone

Your administrator can configure the phone to display answered shared line calls on the received calls list
of all phones.
