[cisco-voip] Shared Line phone Limit

[CarlosOrtiz at bayviewfinancial.com]

Quick update on this.  I ended up deploying the broadcast line group per 
your reasons/suggestion below.  The one drawback here was adding a line to 
each phone (they wanted it separate from their main line).  I tried using 
BAT to ADD LINES but couldn't get the upload to work. 

All these phones had a line 1 and I wanted to add line 2(Broadcast Line). 
 
1)I tried just adding Line 1 but it would say it already exists. 
2) Then I tried supllying all the line one information as required and 
adding line 2 and that wouldn't work.
3) I tried removing all of line 1 info and only having line 2 info but the 
exported BAT would only have the MAC and nothing else.

Anyone done ADD LINES to existing phones before?  What's the trick?

Carlos

A broadcast line group would cover that just as well without the shared 
line processing dependencies & race conditions.

testing goes beyond that, but is it really a good idea?  try to avoid
having a single line shared in that many places if possible.  testing
does not include cluster over wan, device reset recovery, etc.

Is their a limit on how many phones can share a line?  I have seen it
set as high as 30 but had a request for about 60. 
 

I have a situation here with 60 appearances of a shared line. We have a
call box at the front door. The DN it is programmed to dial is on 60 out
of 78 devices. It gets fairly heavy use between 5:30 and 6:30 each
morning as people who don't have a key arrive early for work. It's also
handy for after hours courier pickup or food delivery, which are amongst
my favorite uses for it. :)
