Shared Lines
You can share a single phone number with one or more of your coworkers. For example, as an administrative
assistant, you might be responsible for screening calls for the person that you support.
When you share a phone number, you can use that phone line just like you would any other line, but you
should be aware of these special characteristics about shared lines:
The shared phone number appears on all phones that share the number.
If your coworker answers the call, the shared line button and the session button are solid red on your
phone.
If you put a call on hold, your line button is solid red and the session button pulses red. Your coworker's
line button is also solid red and the session button pulses red.
Add Yourself to a Call on a Shared Line
You or your coworker can join a call on the shared line. Your administrator needs to enable the feature on
your phone.
If a user with whom you share a line has privacy turned on, you can't see their line settings and you can't add
yourself to their call.
Procedure
Step 1 Press the line button for the shared line.
Step 2 Press Barge, BargeSilent, or BargeSlnt.
Record a Call
When you're on an active call, you can record it. You might hear a notification tone as you record the call.
During a recording, you see different icons in different recording state. You see the icons on the Calls screen
and also on the line key on which you are recording a call.
