Shared Lines
A shared line is a directory number that appears on more than one phone. You can create a shared line by
assigning the same directory number to various phones.
Incoming calls display on all phones that share a line, and anyone can answer the call. Only one call remains
active at a time on a phone.
Call information displays on all phones that are sharing a line. If somebody turns on the privacy feature, you
do not see the outbound calls made from the phone. However, you see inbound calls to the shared line.
All phones with a shared line ring when a call is made to the line. If you place the shared call on hold, anyone
can resume the call by pressing the corresponding line key from a phone that shares the line. You can also
press the Select button if the Resume icon is displayed.

• Line Seizure
• Public Hold
