Many multi-line phones allow you to use the same username/password for all lines. Then the phone only actually registers once using that username and password, not once for each line.

What we do with the Polycoms is configure each line to register as a different username/password (we use the MAC address followed by a - and a letter to indicate which line.) As long as you turn off Call Waiting on the phone you can avoid all the checkgroup/setgroup and incominglimit options other people are talking about.

For multiline phones how do you set SIP channels to busy. For instance if SIP/101 is on a call then dial would return busy. Right now it just starts ringing on line X, and stacks up from there.

What would be really great is if I could control how many calls by the context. So if a call was routed via

[overload] Then the ext wouldn't report busy it would just keep ringing available lines, but if the call was routed via

[singletrackmind] dial would return busy if the channel already had one call.
