Understanding Lines Versus Calls

Be sure not to confuse lines and calls on your phone. Use these tips to avoid confusion:

Lines

Your phone can support up to a maximum of 8 lines or phone extensions, depending on how your system administrator configured your programmable buttons. To see how many lines you have, press the Line button to open the line menu. You have as many lines as you have extension numbers.

Each line can support a certain number of calls, depending on your phone’s configuration. By default, each line can support a maximum of 4 calls, but your system administrator can adjust this number according to your needs. So you might find yourself handling several calls, even though you have only one line on your phone.

Calls

Each phone supports a maximum of 200 calls, but only a maximum of 100 calls per line. If you have one line, your system administrator can configure your phone to support up to 100 calls on this single line, or, if you have two lines, you might have 100 calls on each of the two lines, for a maximum of 200 calls.
