Cisco Systems 7975G, 7970G Using a Shared Line

Advanced Call Handling

Cisco Unified IP Phone User Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.6 (SCCP and SIP) 5

Tip

Logging out of hunt groups does not prevent non-hunt group calls from ringing your phone.

Using a Shared Line

Your system administrator might ask you to use a shared line if you:

• Have multiple phones and want one phone number

• Share call-handling tasks with coworkers

• Handle calls on behalf of a manager

Understanding Shared Lines

Remote-in-Use Icon

The remote-in-use icon appears when another phone that shares your line has a connected call.

You can place and receive calls as usual on the shared line, even when the remote-in-use icon appears.

Sharing Call Information and Barging

Phones that share a line each display information about calls that are placed and received on the shared

line. This information might include caller ID and call duration. See the Privacy section for exceptions.

When call information is visible in this way, you and coworkers who share a line can add yourselves

to calls using either Barge or cBarge. See Using Barge to Add Yourself to a Shared-Line Call, page 5.

Privacy

If you do not want coworkers who share your line to see information about your calls, enable the Privacy

feature. Doing so also prevents coworkers from barging your calls. See Preventing Others from Viewing

or Barging a Shared-Line Call, page 7.

Note The maximum number of calls that a shared line supports can vary by phone.

Using Barge to Add Yourself to a Shared-Line Call

You can use barge features (cBarge or Barge) to add yourself to calls on your shared line. (Calls must

be non-private calls. See Using a Shared Line, page 5.)
