All VVX business media phones, except VVX 101, support multiple and shared lines. Your administrator
can customize your phone so that you have multiple shared lines enabled.
Shared Line Limitations
The following features are not available or have limitations on VVX business media phones with shared
lines:
• 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
displayed with the option to answer the call.
• Registering lines as shared lines is not available for lines that use the H.323 protocol.
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.
