Multiple Lines  
SoundPoint® IP 500/501 SIP can support up  
to three lines, each associated with its own  
line key. Lines can be configured for local  
Directory Numbers (DNs), such as your main  
extension and private or shared lines.  
Directories  
Typically, the top-most line key is reserved  
for the principle DN of the phone. Depending  
on how your phone is configured, the display  
could resemble one of the screens shown:  
Directories  
Multiple Keys Per Line  
Each line on the phone can be configured to  
have more than one line key associated with  
it. If this is the case, the display could look  
something like this:  
Incoming calls to this line will be distrib-  
uted evenly among the available keys.  
Similarly, outgoing calls will be distributed.  
Directories

Multiple Call Appearances  
Each line on the phone can be configured  
to have one or more call appearances. This  
is useful if there is an active call and an  
incoming call arrives on the same line. In  
the example shown, extension 9301 is in  
an outbound call with 9304. The second  
diagram shows an incoming call from exten-  
sion 9305. To answer this incoming call,  
put the original call on Hold or press the  
key. Soft key labels are updated on the  
display to enable the user to:  
Directories  
1. Answer the incoming call.  
2. Reject the incoming call.  
3. Forward the incoming call to another  
extension.  
Directories  
Answering the incoming call places the  
original on Hold and refreshes the soft key  
labels as indicated (last illustration).  
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.  
Directories  
Shared Lines  
The phone supports shared lines*. A shared  
line is indicated by a different line icon. In  
the diagram, the first line is private and the  
second line is shared. 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.  
Directories  
If a shared line is in use on one of the  
phones, it cannot be used on the other one.  
The shared line icon changes to a moving  
icon when the line is in use remotely.  
Calls on shared lines can be transferred, put  
on hold, or added to a conference.  
*Shared lines are an optional feature configured on the server  
and may not be supported on your particular system. Contact  
your system administrator to find out.

Voice Mail  
Received messages will be indicated by a  
flashing Message Waiting Indicator LED  
on the front of the phone and a visual  
notification on the display.  
A stutter dial tone in place of normal dial  
tone is used to indicate that one or more  
voice messages are waiting at the message  
center.  
Individual line indicators reflect voice or  
text messages left on that line (useful if  
multiple lines are in use).
