This is probably going to sound really silly and I must be confused about it. Maybe someone can set me straight.
I've been tinkering for a while with * and a number of different FXO/FXS cards, SIP phones, and ATAs trying to get a feel for what works and what doesn't. In the SIP phone group, I have a Cisco 7940G, a Polycom 500, and now an SPA-841. Each of these allow me to configure at least 2 "lines". What I'm wrestling with is what to do with the second lines. With the cisco and the polycom, I have only one line configured and can successfully conference and transfer calls. When I'm on the phone and a new call comes in, they display the second call and controls for switching between them. (hmmm... what happens when the third comes along?) The Sipura appears to be unable to do this without configuring a second extension. (anybody got any insight on that?) My question is basically, assuming all I want is the same kind of service I get on a traditional analog line with respect to call waiting and 3-way, do I need a multi-line phone? Back to the Sipura... If I configure it to only register the first line, it seems it cannot conference or transfer calls. With my current configs, a second incoming call to the extension dumps straight to "busy" voice mail. I guess I could setup my dial plan to roll to the phone's line 2 but that seems like a mess. It's not needed with the cisco or polycom so it's possible, right? Curious, Paul -- Paul A.
