New and Changed Information
The following section describes the new and changed information in this release.
Multiple Calls Per Line
The Cisco Unified IP Phones 8941 and 8945 now support Multiple Calls Per Line.
Each line can support multiple calls. By default, the Cisco Unified IP Phones 8941 and 8945 support four active calls per line, and a maximum of 24 active calls per line. Only one call can be connected at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.
The system allows you to configure the maximum calls/busy trigger to not more than 24/24 both for SCCP and SIP. The default call/busy trigger value is 4/2.
This feature is supported on both SIP and SCCP phones, with Unified CM 7.1(5) and later.
For more information, see the "Directory Number Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
New Call Softkey Limitation
The Multiple Calls Per Line feature introduces a limitation to the NewCall softkey. The NewCall softkey must be configured for the OnHold state.
If the NewCall softkey is not configured in the hold softkey template, a user sees the message "Call failed: Maximum call-per-line limit To transfer one of the ongoing calls, please select the call" in the following scenario:
•
User is on an active call and places the call on hold.
•
User resumes the held call and presses Transfer.
