Turn Privacy on or off

When you have lines assigned to more than one telephone, anyone with the line appearance can
take a call, or join a call in progress. To provide exclusive access for a user, you can program
privacy on a line, in which case, only one person at a time can use the line.
Programming privacy on a line
The privacy setting only applies to lines that are individually assigned to telephones.
Lines in line pools do not have this feature. Target lines show the feature as available, but the
feature does not work in the same way as for PSTN lines.
