Shared Lines

Shared lines allow you to use one phone number for multiple phones.
You might have a shared line if you have multiple phones and want one phone number, share
call-handling tasks with co-workers, or handle calls on behalf of a manager.
For example, if you share a line with a co-worker:
• When a call comes in on the shared line:
Your phone rings and the line button flashes amber.
–
Your co-worker's phone rings and the line button flashes amber.
–
• If you answer the call:
Your line button turns green.
–
Your co-worker's line button turns red.
–
When button is red, that line cannot be used to barge in on the call or used to make another
call.
• If you put the call on hold:
Your line button flashes green
–
Your co-worker's line button flashes red.
–
When the line flashes red, your co-worker can pick up the call.

Speed Dial

Speed-dial features allow you to place a call by pressing a button, entering a code, or selecting an item
from the Call History list. Before you can use speed-dial features on your phone, you must set up
speed-dial on your User Options Web pages.
Depending on setup, your phone can support these speed-dial features:
• Speed-Dial Buttons—Allow you to quickly dial a phone number from one or more line buttons set
up for speed dialing.
• Speed-Dial Codes—Allow you to dial a phone number from a code (sometimes referred to as
abbreviated dialing).
If your system administrator has set up the Line Status feature, you can monitor the status of a
speed-dial line by using the line status indicators.
