Forwarding an incoming call is not available.
Ignoring or rejecting an incoming call on shared lines disables ringing only.
Enabling Do Not Disturb on shared lines disables ringing only and a visual notification of the call is

Answering Calls on Shared Lines
Incoming calls to a shared line cause all registered phones to ring, and the call can be answered on any
of the phones.
When you or another person answers the incoming call, a green indicator light is displayed on the line key
on all phones for the shared line.
Missed and Received Calls on Shared Lines
When you have an incoming call on a shared line, which none of the phones answer, the call is displayed
in the Missed Calls list on all the phones. If you have an incoming call on a shared line and you or any of
the other phones answer the call, the call is not logged as missed on any phone.
