[asterisk-users] Shared Line Appearance - Aastra 55i - Does it work?

[James Collier]

Does anyone have Shared (bridged) Line Appearance working in Asterisk 1.4?
Specifically with the Aastra 55i.

Specifically, I am using the Aastra 55i with the expansion module.

We want to see if other handsets are being used. (BLF)  Getting BLF to work
would be a great start.  It sounds like setting up the hints properly will
achieve this.  right?  Not totally sure how this should be configured.

We also want bridged appearances.  "Shared Line Appearance" in Asterisk 1.4.

It is my understanding that with a bridged appearance, the line would show
as busy if it is in use on another handset, right?   Meaning that the BLF
would be irrelevant?

in SLA.conf  we have:
