Shared Line Appearance(SLA)
When your phone is registered with the Skype for Business Server, you can use the Shared Line
Appearance (SLA) feature to share a single line with other contacts as a member of a group. System
administrators assign members to the SLA group.
Any SLA group member can answer, hold, or resume calls on the shared line. And all group members can
view the status of a call on the shared line on their phones. Each line supports up to 25 call appearances.
Only one call at a time can be active on the shared line appearance. If a call is placed to the shared line
with an active call in place, the incoming call is sent to another shared line.
Note: SLA feature is configurable via Skype for Business server only. Contact your system
administrator for more information. A user can be assigned to one SLA group only. If the user has to
be a delegate for multiple shared numbers, the phone will perform Boss-Admin feature to handle the
delegate calls.

Branch Office Resiliency
Branch office resiliency is critical for multi-site deployments of Skype for Business where the control
servers are located at a central site or data center. It allows branch site users to continue to have
Enterprise Voice service and voicemail (if voicemail rerouting settings are configured) when the branch
site loses the connection to the central site. In this situation, your phone will prompt “Limited service due to
outage”, and the presence icon is displayed as Unknown. When the WAN connection between the branch
site and central site becomes available, the phone comes out of resiliency mode automatically. Notification
of resiliency is automatically dismissed, and you can use phone features as normal.
Note: If you sign into the phone using On-Premises account, you can use branch office resiliency
feature. Current Online environment does not support this feature.
