Line Key

You can set a softkey to act as a line/call appearance key on the 57i. The This key acts 
as a line that behaves the same as a hard line key (L1, L2, L3, and L4). For more 
information about the behavior of line keys, see 

on 

If you configure line keys for the softkeys, the status of the lines/call appearance keys 
appear on the phone’s display as shown in the following image.

Icons next to the softkeys on the phone’s display indicate the status for that line or 
call. The following table provides a description for each icon.

Depending on how the phone has been configured, the maximum number of total 
line/call appearances that can be configured is 9 (4 line/call appearance hard keys 
plus 5 softkeys). If all line/call appearances have been set up between two different 
numbers, a total of 8 lines can be configured.
