Privacy Feature
There is a system setting for Line Privacy. This option is configurable for each
available external line. If privacy is enabled for a particular external line, calls
associated with that line are Protected. Other Handsets may not Barge-In on
calls Active on that line. When being put on Hold, Active and Conference calls
are put on Protected Hold and Protected Conference Hold (if applicable). Other
Handsets may not pick up calls on Protected Hold or Protected Conference
Hold; only the associated Handset may do so.
If a call on Handset X (that originally came in on a Private line) is transferred to
another Handset Y that does have access to that Private line, the call is still
Protected and other Handsets can not Barge-In or Pick-up (if the call is later put
on Protected Hold). Other Handsets will be prevented from joining/getting calls
that are already in progress on that Line.
If a call on Handset X (that originally came in on a Private line) is transferred to
another Handset Y that does NOT have access to that Private line, that call is no
longer Protected, and other Handsets may Barge-In or Pick-up (if the call is later
put on Hold).
