Call and Line States and Icons
- LinesEach corresponds to a directory number or intercom number that others can use to call you. Your Cisco IP Communicator can support up to eight lines, depending on configuration. To see how many lines you have, look at the right side of your phone screen. You have as many lines as you have phone numbers and phone line icons:

- CallsEach line can support multiple calls. By default, your Cisco IP Communicator supports four connected calls per line, but your system administrator can adjust this number according to your needs. Only one call can be active at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.
