Privacy
If you do not want coworkers who share your line to see information about your calls, enable the Privacy
feature. Doing so also prevents coworkers from barging your calls. See
30.
Note The maximum number of calls that a shared line supports can vary by phone.
Barge, cBarge, and Shared Lines
You can use barge features (cBarge or Barge) to add yourself to calls on your shared line. Calls must be
nonprivate calls.
Depending on how your phone is configured, you can add yourself to a nonprivate call on a shared line using
either cBarge or Barge:
• cBarge converts the call into a standard conference, allowing you to add new participants.
• Barge enables you to add yourself to the call but does not convert the call into a conference or allow
you to add new participants.

Single-Button and Multitouch Barge
Your system administrator determines whether the barge feature on your phone operates as a single-button
or multitouch feature.
• Single-button barge allows you to press a line button to barge a call (if only one call is on the line).
• Multitouch barge allows you to view call information before barging.
