Manager and assistant shared line configurations

BAT associates Cisco Unified CM Assistant line configurations to shared lines that are assigned to the manager

and the assistant phones. You set the shared line mode in the manager’s configuration when associating

managers with assistants.

In shared line mode, the manager line corresponds to a shared line on the assistant phone. For example, to

associate two managers with an assistant, you add two lines to the assistant phone that have the same directory

numbers and partitions as the primary lines on the manager phones.

Manager 1 Phone:

• Line 1— Primary line (DN is 2355)

• Line 2— Intercom line (optional)

Manager 2 Phone:

• Line 1— Primary line (DN is 2875)

• Line 2— Intercom line (optional)

Assistant Phone:

• Line 1—Assistant primary line (DN is 3356)

• Line 2—Shared line with Manager 1 (DN is 2355)

• Line 3—Shared line with Manager 2 (DN is 2875)

• Lines 4 through 6 are available

• Line 7—Intercom line (optional)

You can add lines 4 through 6 as shared lines for other managers.

When you add multiple manager lines to an assistant phone, all lines on the assistant phone must use shared

line mode. You cannot mix proxy and shared lines on the assistant phone. Likewise, when a manager has

multiple assistants, all associations must use shared line mode.

When you associate multiple assistants to a manager who has shared line mode, BAT assigns Unified CM

Assistant associations only to those assistants that are also using shared line mode.
