For more information on configuring PFKs, go to Programmable Function Keys (PFKs) 
on page 83. 
If replacing a phone that is using a Shared Call Appearance, the replacement phone 
automatically shares the Shared Call Appearance - if the new handset has enough 
PFKs available to accommodate all Shared Call Appearance lines. If the new handset 
does not have enough PFKs available, the system notifies the user, and the handset 
replacement completes without adding the Shared Call Appearance to the new 
handset. 
12.3 Call Routes 
Each defined Shared Call Appearance is selectable as a destination in any extension 
call route. 
For more information on setting up extension call routes, see Chapter 18.2 Basic 
Routing. In multi-site networks, Allworx Server Administrators can map defined Shared 
Call Appearances on one site to other sites to use as destinations in the other sites’ 
call routes.

and unavailable on all other handsets that share the Shared Call Appearance.
