EXPANDING THE PHONE SYSTEM

When you combine two or more 944/955/964 phones you create an interacting system where phones share lines. You can have up to 12 phones and up to 15 telephone lines. The system can be expanded with or without Centrex service.

NOTE: All 944 features work as described earlier in this manual.

Line Groups

When phones share lines, Line-in-use lights let users at different extensions know when a specific line is in use. For accurate Line-in-use lights, the same lines must be connected to each extension in the Line Group, and they must have the same incoming telephone number at each extension.

The chart below shows 12 extensions, each sharing the first three lines, but being assigned to different Line Groups based on other shared or private lines.
