Tips

If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can make and receive calls using the shared line as usual.

The Privacy feature applies to all shared lines on your phone. Consequently, if you have multiple shared lines and Privacy is enabled, coworkers will not be able to view or barge calls on any of your shared lines.

Storing and Retrieving Parked Calls

You can park a call when you want to store the call so that you or someone else can retrieve it from another phone in the Cisco Unified CallManager system (for example, a phone at a coworker’s desk or in a conference room).

Then...

 

 

 

Store an active call

see Park.)

 

2.

Note the call park number displayed on your phone screen.

 

3.

Retrieve a parked call

Enter the call park number from any Cisco Unified IP Phone in your

 

network to connect to the call.

 

 

 

Note You have a limited amount of time to retrieve a parked call before it reverts to ringing at the original number. See your system administrator for details.
