[Asterisk-Users] Linksys SPA-941 multiple line appearences

[Michael Keyes]

I set up only 1 extension and set all 4 line appearences to point to that
extension.  I could place up to 4 outgoing calls as extension 1 no problem.
The problem happened when there was an active call on line appearence 1 and
someone called extension 1.  Instead of ringing on line appearence 2
(extension 1) it would busy out.  My question, is there something in
Asterisk that needs to be adjusted to make the phone work properly or is
there a setting on the phone that needs to be adjusted?  Thank you.

You only need to setup ONE account and all four call appearances will work.
