Preventing Others from Viewing or Joining a Shared-Line Call

If you share a phone line, you can use the Privacy feature to prevent others who share the line from
viewing or barging (adding themselves to) your calls.
If you want to...
Prevent others from viewing or
barging calls on a shared line
Allow others to view or barge calls
on a shared line
Tips
• If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can make and receive calls using the
shared line as usual.
• The Privacy feature applies to all shared lines on your phone. Consequently, if you have multiple
shared lines and Privacy is enabled, coworkers cannot view or barge calls on any of your shared
lines.

Using BLF to Determine a Line State

Busy Lamp Field (BLF) features allow you to view the state of a phone line that is associated with a
speed dial, call log, or directory listing on your phone. If you use BLF Pickup, you can answer a ringing
call for the line that you are monitoring. Your system administrator determines which BLF features are
configured for your phone.
