Understanding Shared Lines
If two phones share a line, an incoming call to one number will cause both
phones to ring. The call can be answered by either phone, but not both. If your
phone shares a line, a shared line icon that is half black and half grey displays
on the screen.
The following figure shows the shared line icon at the top left of the screen.
The shared line icon changes to a moving icon, and the console’s LEDs glow a
steady red, when the line is in use remotely.
Calls on shared lines can be transferred, put on hold, or added to a conference.
You cannot forward or reject calls on shared lines.
For information on answering calls with shared lines, see Answering Calls on
page 3-4.
Note
Shared lines is an optional feature that your system administrator sets up. Your
system may not support it. For more information, contact your system administrator.
