Multiple line appearances and line keys

A phone number assigned to a line key on an IP phone is called a line appearance. The line keys on your phone can have repeated numbers, different numbers that belong to you, or numbers that belong to others. When a call comes in to a number, all phones with that number as a line appearance ring at the same time. When the call is answered, how it’s handled depends on the line’s call presence.

Collaborate offers 2 call presence choices:

• Shared call presence—When a call is answered and put on hold, any other phone with that line appearance can take the call off hold.
• Not shared call presence—When a call is answered, it becomes exclusive to the phone that answered it and no longer appears on the other phones.

Move between calls on different line appearances

1. While on a call, press the line key associated with another line. The call on the first line is put on hold.
2. Talk with the second caller.
3. To return to the first caller, press the line key associated with the first call. The second call is automatically put on hold.

You can forward calls to an extension or any 10-digit phone number.

Collaborate provides these types of call forwarding:

• Call Forwarding – Always—All calls to your phone are forwarded. This is also known as Send All Calls.
• Call Forwarding – No Answer—If you don’t answer, the call is forwarded.
• Call Forwarding – Busy—Calls that come in while your phone is busy are forwarded.
• Call Forwarding – Not Reachable—Applies when your phone can’t be reached by the Collaborate network (not simply when you don’t answer or are busy). You can set this up in advance.

Note: Your administrator establishes your access to call forwarding features. If you have questions about your access to these features, check with your administrator.
