Understanding Lines and Calls

To avoid confusion about lines and calls, refer to these descriptions:
Lines—Each line corresponds to a directory number or intercom number that others can use to call
you. The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G supports one to six lines and the Cisco Unified IP Phone
7942G supports one to two 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 directory numbers and
phone line icons:
Calls—Each line can support multiple calls. By default, your phone 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.
