Did you by any chance try it with call waiting enabled on the spa?

I think that's how I have one of mine and it works fine.

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.
