Using Call Features
A line is selected by pressing the corresponding line key. To make or receive calls, you must select a call
appearance (line key) or an audio device. If you select a call appearance, then an audio device is selected
automatically according to user preference setting. If you select an audio device, an idle call appearance
is selected automatically in the order L1, L2, L3, and L4. You can switch between audio devices while
the call in any of the active states.

A new call appearance is selected automatically when the user presses the conf (Conf on the SPA962)
or xfer (Transfer on the SPA962) soft key. The 900 Series phone tries to pick an idle call appearance
that is on the same extension as the last active call. If that call appearance is not available, the phone
tries to pick a call appearance whose extension has the same proxy server as the last active call. Finally,
if that fails, the first idle call appearance is selected, in numeric order (L1, L2, L3, L4).
