Cisco Systems 7931G User Manual

If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can make and receive calls using the 
shared line as usual. 

The Privacy feature applies to all shared lines on your phone. Consequently, if you have multiple 
shared lines and Privacy is enabled, coworkers cannot view or barge calls on any of your 
shared lines.

Busy Lamp Field (BLF) features allow you to view the state of a phone line that is associated with a 
speed-dial button, call log, or directory listing on your phone. If you use BLF Pickup, you can answer 
a ringing call for the line that you are monitoring. Your system administrator determines which BLF 
features are configured for your phone.
