How to Use Shared Lines
Your system administrator might give you a shared line. Typically, a shared line has these uses:
- One person applies a shared line to multiple phones that he or she usesFor example, your shared line, extension 23456, applies to your Cisco IP Communicator and your desktop phone. In this case, an incoming call to extension 23456 rings your Cisco IP Communicator and your desktop phone, and you can use either phone to answer the call.
- Multiple people share a lineFor example, you are a manager who shares a line and extension number with your assistant. An incoming call to the extension rings both your phone and the phone of your assistant. If your assistant answers, you can use a shared line feature called Barge to add yourself to the connected call.
- Your system administrator will tell you if you use a shared line. Shared line features, such as Barge, do not apply to standard, not shared lines.
