Understanding Lines vs. Calls, Shared Line | Cisco Systems 7970

Understanding Lines vs. Calls

To avoid confusion about lines and calls, refer to these descriptions:

•Lines—Each corresponds to a directory number that others can use to call you. Your phone can

support up to eight lines. To see your phone lines, look at the right side of your touchscreen. 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, but your system administrator can adjust this number according to your needs. Only one call can be active at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.

Understanding Line and Call Icons

Your phone displays icons to help you determine the line and call state.

Icon	Line or call state	Description

	On-hook line	No call activity on this line.

	Off-hook line	You are dialing a number or an outgoing call is ringing.

	Connected call	You are connected to the other party.

	Ringing call	A call is ringing on one of your lines.

	Call on hold	You have put the call on hold. See Using Hold and Resume, page 26.

	Remote-in-use	Another phone that shares your line has a connected call. See Using a
		Shared Line, page 36.
