[asterisk-users] polycom soundpint ip650 question

[Dave Fullerton]

No, this is all done through the phone provisioning. You are correct, 
you would set reg.1.lineKeys="1" but then set reg.1.callsPerLineKey="6" 
or 4 or whatever you want. In the default phone1.cfg callsPerLineKey 
immediately follows the lineKeys setting.
