Shared Lines
Shared lines allow you to use one phone number for multiple phones.
You may 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 coworker:
• When a call comes in on the shared line:
Your phone rings and the Line button
–
Your coworker's phone rings and the Line button flashes amber.
–
• If you answer the call:
Your Line button turns green.
–
Your coworker'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 barge is enabled, you can auto barge a call by going off hook. If it is disabled, you can
make another call by going off hook.
• If you put the call on hold:
Your Line button flashes green
–
Your coworker's Line button flashes red.
–
When the Line button flashes red, your coworker can pick up the call.
