The grandstream gxp2000's have 4 lines, and this is what I did - I have 2 sip channels registered with the pbx, one for personal calls and one for business calls, so I can tell by which rings what type call it is, however what I did was use the 1st and 3rd channels since if I am on the "line" and another call comes in it rolls into the next line on the phone that way the roll happens to lines 2 and 4 that are not bound to an extension. if the roll happened to a channel that was registering rather than an empty button it would be confusing on the type of call. what is even more confusing is the 4 lines also roll into the speed dial / status buttons so if you have people on hold, it may look like you are getting a call from a speed dial link when its really an outside call. 4-6 lines sounds like a lot but I think in practice its more used for rollover than that many unique extensions on a phone. > > Thanks, > Travis > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Michiel van Baak" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2009 2:40:07 AM > Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] How many lines do you use. > > On 10:18, Wed 25 Nov 09, Julian Lyndon-Smith wrote: > > Just for some information really : How many of you use multiple sip > lines on > > a phone ?. > > > > I'm sitting here looking at my 7960, with it's 6 lines.
