Shared Lines

All VVX business media phones, except VVX 101, support multiple and shared lines. Your administrator can
customize your phone so that you have multiple shared lines enabled.

Shared Line Limitations

The following features are not available or have limitations on phones with shared lines:
● Forwarding an incoming call is not available.
● Enabling Do Not Disturb on shared lines disables ringing only, and a visual notification of the call is
displayed with the option to answer the call.
● Registering lines as shared lines is not available for lines that use the H.323 protocol.

Answering Calls on Shared Lines

Incoming calls to a shared line causes all registered phones to ring, and the call can be answered on any
of the phones. When you or another person answers the incoming call, a green indicator light is displayed
on the line key on all phones for the shared line.

Missed and Received Calls on Shared Lines

When you have an incoming call on a shared line, which none of the phones answer, the call is displayed
in the Missed Calls list on all the phones. If you have an incoming call on a shared line and you or any of
the other phones answer the call, the call is not logged as missed on any phone.
Your administrator can configure the phones so that if you have an incoming call on a shared line and one
phone answers, the other phones log the call as a received call. That way, if another phone on a shared line
answers an incoming call, you can still view the call information from your phone's call lists even if you did
not answer the call.
