Line appearance buttons allow you to make and receive calls on a specific telephone line connected to your telephone system. The button also allows you to see when the line is in use by other users.
For incoming calls, the telephone system still determines the destination for the call. That may be a user or group. However, if you have a line appearance button for the line, you will see that there is a call alerting and can answer it if required.
•Private Lines
Special behaviour is applied to calls where the user has both a line appearance for the line involved and is also the Incoming Call Route destination of that call. Such calls will alert only on the Line Appearance button and not on any other buttons. These calls will also not follow any forwarding.
