[Asterisk-Users] Provisioning Lines

[Chris Mason (Lists)]

I don't know about other phones but on the Sipura, I set all the lines to
the same extension and incoming calls rollover on to the next line
appearance. Hence, I can hold one and take the next call, switch back and
forth easily, works great.
 
Another reason would be to have more than one incoming DID, to make sure
they were answered even if you were on the phone, you would see that you had
a call on DID2 and wouold put the first on hold to answer the second.
 
You might want to have a internal only extension.

Hi,
   This may be a dumb question but I know how to provision lines but what is
the use for them. Right now I just have one line provisioned on my cisco
7690 and I get all incoming calls on that line and make calls on that too.
Additional lines may be mean additional extension numbers. But then why
would a person want to have six different extensions and remember them all. 
 
One feature I could think off is
1.)     To have a second line as auto-answer for paging, etc.
 
Please don't flame me. Just getting into PBX's and haven't had much
experience with them.
