We have a few of those phones and the associated sidecards.  Using a
combination of hints and parking, you can get the status of the other
phones to show up on the side car.

I found all the information on voip-info.org for how to do it.  Parking, hints
the aastra configs and all.

You can also do that with the softkeys on the top and bottom of the screen.
