Introduction

This page describes how to set up Keyline on the M500.

What is Keyline?

Keyline is a feature name of a line behavior similar to a shared call appearance line. This Keyline name is in reference to the old telephony Key System where each users is able to see each of lines' activity (ringing, active and on-hold). This allows any user the ability manipulate the visible call by simply pressing the line key in order to:

(1) pick up the incoming call,

(2) barge into an active call,

(3) place an outgoing call.

The Keyline feature is purely self contained within the M500, and does not require any special server feature to be available.

Configuring Keyline

Keyline is supported via one of the available programmable feature key types: Keyline.
