		override global settings unless deleted through the Reset Local
		Config menu selection and the <Ethernet address>-phone.cfgis
		removed from the boot server.
	Local Phone User	Specify per-registration the number of calls that can be active or on
	Interface	hold per line key assigned to that registration using the SIP
		Configuration menu. Either the Web Server or the boot server
		configuration files or the local phone user interface should be used to
		configure registrations, not a mixture of these options. When the SIP
		Configuration menu is used, it is assumed that all registrations use
		the same server.

Shared Call Appearances

Calls and lines on multiple phones can be logically related to each other. A call that is active on one phone will be presented visually to phones that share that call appearance. Mutual exclusion features emulate traditional PBX or key system privacy for shared calls. Incoming calls can be presented to multiple phones simultaneously. Users at the different locations have the ability to interrupt remote active calls.

This feature is dependent on support from a SIP server that binds the appearances together logically and looks after the necessary state notifications and performs an access control function. For more information, refer to Shared Call Appearance Signaling on page B-10.
