Understanding Lines vs. Calls

To avoid confusion about lines and calls, refer to these descriptions:
Lines—Each line corresponds to a phone number (or extension) that others can use to call you. The
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G supports one to six lines and the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7941G
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. Only one call can be active at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.
