Understanding Lines and Calls

To avoid confusion about lines and calls, refer to these descriptions:

you. Your phone can support up to eight lines. To see your phone lines, look at the right side of

• 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.
