Within the CME GUI, when configuring Extensions, we have the ability to configure a "Secondary" number. What does this "buy" us. What is the purpose, how does this work? What I have is 3 7910 Phones on my voice network. These are one button phones. I have them working internally (office VoIP) and with a single POTS line. I have added a 2nd line (Majic Jack Phone #) to the mix. Originally, I had the following config for the FXO port for line 1 voice-port 2/0 signal groundStart connection plar opx 1000 ! and ephone-dn 6 number 1000 label Inbound Line 1 description Inbound Line 1 name Inbound Line 1 preference 0 secondary 1 hold-alert 30 originator ! ephone 2 mac-address 0004.4D07.647C speed-dial 1 1001 label "John" speed-dial 2 7095 label "Cordless Phone" type 7910 button 1:2 2f6 {2f6 references ephone-dn 6} ! and everything worked Afterwards, I added the second line ! voice-port 2/1 signal groundStart connection plar opx 1100 SO, the question becomes, How can I get hte 2 lines to ring on all 3 phones? Do I set up an additional ephone-dn for extension 1100 and reference this as the secondary # on the existing ephone-dn(s) or just reference the opx extension as the secondary #? Or, is there another method to handle multiple incoming lines to enable pickup from selected phones? John

Create ephone-dns for both your incoming lines then reference them using the overlay button command, so for phone 1 you could haveButton 1o1,10,11 Phone 2Button 1o2,10,11 Phone 3Button 1o3,10,11 Where dn's 1,2 & 3 are the dedicated dns for the three phones and 10 & 11 are for the incoming lines.

I am working on two other issues now. 1) Transferring inbound calls to our cordless phone connected to an FXS port. I am able to make calls from the FXS port to an outside #, call all the internal extensions and transfer internal calls coming to the the FXS port from one internal (IP) extension to another (IP) extension. When an incoming POTS call is picked up on one of the IP Phones, I can transfer the call to one of the other 2 IP phones without issues, but I try to transfer the call to the FXS port it gives a busy signal on the first digit dialed.
