Cisco SPA 500 Series and WIP310 IP Phone Administration Guide
The Cisco SPA 500 Series IP Phones support the "private hold" feature for
MetaSwitch and BroadSoft. Users who have a shared line can press the "PrivHold"
softkey, and the call can only be resumed by the user who placed the call on hold.
Each station with an SLA can be configured independently. Although the account
information is usually the same for all of the stations, settings such as the dial plan
or the preferred codec can vary.

Configuring a Line

This section does not apply to the WIP310.
To configure a phone line:
Log in to the web administration interface.
Click Admin Login and advanced.
Click the Phone tab.
Under each line key for the phone, configure the following:
• Extension—Assign an extension to the line key. Defaults to 1. Generally you
should reserve EXT 1 on the client station as the primary and private
extension of the designated user. Configure shared extensions on EXTs 2
through 6 (depending on phone model).
