Making calls in the team/executive/secretary configuration
Step by Step
Making calls in the team/executi-
ve/secretary configuration
If configured (consult your service personnel), you be-
long to a team of subscribers with multiple lines (multi-
line page 11). Your phone features trunk keys (MU-
LAP keys) page 100.

Lines

A distinction is made between primary and secondary
lines. Each of these line types can be used on a private
or shared basis page 99.
Primary line
All multi-line telephones have a primary line. This line
can be reached in the usual manner via your public pho-
ne number. Incoming calls are signaled on this line.
Secondary line
The secondary line on your phone is used as a primary
line by another subscriber. Your primary line, which is
configured on another telephone, simultaneously func-
tions as the secondary line on that telephone.

Line utilization

Private line
A line that is used by a single telephone. This line can-
not be used as a secondary line by another telephone.
Shared line
A line that is configured on multiple telephones. The
line status (if configured) is displayed for all telephones
that share this line. If, for example, a shared line is being
used by a telephone, a status message indicating that
this line is busy is displayed on all other telephones.
Direct call line
A line with a direct connection to another telephone.
You can see the status of the line from the LED.
