2.16. Shared Call Appearance / Bridge Line Appearance
The LIP-6812 can support up to 11 Lines, each associated with its own button. A Line button
could be set up as a Private Line, a Shared Line or DSS/BLF Call Coverage Line. A Private
Line is used by only one phone. A Shared Line is shared by more than one phone. To learn
more about this, please refer to the VoIP Configuration section within the Installer Guide.
A Shared Line appears and is accessible by an authorized set of Phones. A Shared Line allows
you to place a call on hold at one phone and easily pick it up at another. Any phone with the
Shared Line can originate and terminate calls on the Line. When a phone places an outgoing
call, all phones with the Shared Line are notified and reflect the current status of the Line.
When an incoming call is routed to a Shared Line, all phones with the Line will ring and display
the name or number of the calling party. Once the call is answered, all other phones stop
ringing and the Line button reflects a busy status.
The LED of the Line button shows the state of each call appearance on a Line.
