Multiple Lines
Your SoundPoint® IP 301 SIP can support
up to two lines, each associated with its own
line key. Lines can be configured for private
or shared lines.
Typically, the top-most line key is reserved
for the principal directory number of the
phone. Depending on how your phone is
configured, the display could resemble one
of the screens shown:
Multiple Keys Per Line
A line on the phone can be configured to
have two line keys associated with it. If this

Incoming calls to this line will be distributed evenly among the two available keys.
Similarly, outgoing calls will be distributed.

Multiple Call Appearances
Each line on the phone can be configured to
have one or more call appearances. More than
one call appearance is useful if there is an
active call and an incoming call arrives on the
same line. In the example shown, there is in
an outbound call with Bob Smith. The second
figure shows an incoming call from Jim
Green. To answer this incoming call, put the
original call on Hold or press the key
to access the new call. Soft key labels will be
updated on the display with these options:
1. Answer this incoming call.
2. Reject the second incoming call.
3. Forwrd the incoming call to another
extension.
Answering the incoming call places the original on Hold and refreshes the soft key labels
as indicated (last figure).
If more than one call appearance is in use,
one will appear on the display and the total
number will be indicated by a counter at the
top right corner of the display. For example,
“2/3” indicates that the call on the display is
the second one out of a total of three.
A user can also place another outbound call on
the same first line. Press Hold during the first
call and press NewCall to obtain dial tone for a
second call.
Shared Lines
The phone supports shared lines*. If two
phones share a line, an incoming call to that
number will cause both phones to ring. The
call can be answered on either phone but
not both.
The shared line icon changes to a moving
icon when the line is in use remotely.
Calls on shared lines can be transferred, put
