[Asterisk-Users] How to set busy

[Eric "ManxPower" Wieling]

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.
