•Nortel recommends a maximum of four line buttons per telephone. You can program more than four line buttons on a telephone by programming less than four on other sets. For example, you might program 20 line buttons on a receptionist telephone equipped as a CAP station, and only two lines on all other telephones.
•You can program a maximum of 93 telephones with a line appearance for a specific line, including VoIP and target lines. Above this maximum, you can configure more than one appearance per telephone of a target line.
