Line Keys and Softkeys

Line Key

You can set a softkey to act as a line/call appearance key on the 57i. The This key acts as a line that behaves the same as a hard line key (L1, L2, L3, and L4). For more information about the behavior of line keys, see "Multiple Line and Call Appearances" on page 52.

If you configure line keys for the softkeys, the status of the lines/call appearance keys appear on the phone’s display as shown in the following image.
