Managing Inbound Calls with Shared Line Appearances
A shared line appearance (SLA) allows multiple stations to share an extension number and to
manage a call as a group.
About Shared Line Appearances
An incoming call to an SLA causes all stations to ring simultaneously. The phones display the
line status, such as idle, ringing, or busy.
NOTE:
•
If a shared line is being used by one of the stations in the group, no one can use the
corresponding line key until the line is released. A message appears on the phone
display to indicate that a shared call is active.
•
All stations with a line key for the SLA can monitor the status based on the appearance
of the line key button:
–
Green: The SLA is available.
–
Flashing Red Quickly: A call is ringing the SLA and has not been answered.
–
Flashing Red Intermittently: A call is active at another station.
–
Flashing Red Slowly: A call is on hold.
–
Solid Red: A call is active on this station.
•
All stations with a display can monitor the status of any SLA that is configured. The icon
next to the line key will change to show ringing, off-hook, or busy "<-->" until the phone
is back on-hook.
•
Comparing the SLA to a Hunt Group, both may ring several stations simultaneously.
However, only one station in a Hunt Group can answer and manage the call. For more
information, see
”Managing Inbound Calls with Hunt Groups,” on page 73
