Multi-line function
With R5.4, the multi-line function is available on SIP terminals with only one IP audio or generic
licence.
A multi-line terminal has several directory numbers (for instance, a "corporate" number and a "private"
number). Each directory number is stored on a programmable key.
Note: this function is programmed by the system operator.
Using an expansion module gives you an immediate view of programmed keys, regardless of whether
the terminal is idle or busy.
When a terminal is set to multi-line mode, the user can assign each of his directory numbers the
features he wishes to use.
Example of how to select a multi-line function:
Each directory number can also be set to multi-key mode (managing double calls).
The user has a voicemail box associated with each directory number. Forwarding is programmed
independently and with sometimes different secret access codes.
Note:
The SIP terminal can now be associated with a real multi-line subscription, and the specific
configurations available in releases earlier than R5.4 are no longer supported: the deployment
login is not used any longer.
SIP terminals can now be used as assistant terminal(s) in an N managers, M assistants
configuration, and as a telephony terminal for ACP Web Attendant.
If no CCO is programmed in the subscription, the terminal acts as if it has two programmed
CCOs.
To manage more calls (for specific applications) some CCOs must be programmed in the
subscription. However, no specific programming is required if the number of CCOs is less
than the number of keys. Programming is automatic in case of management via AM 7450.
Restriction
The number of managed calls depends on the SIP terminal capacities: see table below.
For terminals 6730i and 6731i, the maximum number of authorised lines is the number of lines
available, that is 2.
