To use more than 1 line key for a single registration you need to change
your phonexxxx.cfg for the polycom phone.  For example, here is a setup that
uses 3 line keys for the same registration and allows 1 call per key.  The
"key" portions of the setup are "lineKeys" (# of keys to show the
registration on) and "callsPerLineKey".

<phone1>
   <reg reg.1.displayName="2101"
        reg.1.address="2101"
        reg.1.label="Line"
        reg.1.type="private"
        reg.1.thirdPartyName=""
        reg.1.auth.userId="2101"
        reg.1.auth.password="2101"
        reg.1.server.1.address="192.168.1.7"
        reg.1.server.1.port="5060"
        reg.1.server.1.transport="DNSnaptr"
        reg.1.server.2.transport="DNSnaptr"
        reg.1.server.1.expires=""
        reg.1.server.1.register="1"
        reg.1.server.1.retryTimeOut=""
        reg.1.server.1.retryMaxCount=""
        reg.1.server.1.expires.lineSeize=""
        reg.1.acd-login-logout="0"
        reg.1.acd-agent-available="0"
        reg.1.ringType="2"
        reg.1.lineKeys="3"
