[cisco-voip] Shared lines on UCCX 8.x

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

We have a third party vendor that monitors our phones for emergency call notification and as well to evaluate barge/non-barge audio pages. They do so using CTI super provider features. 

Does this break that rule?

Agreed with Matthew on this one. The difference, as I understand it, in UCCX 8.x is that shared line check is performed earlier and more consistently in the agent login process. 


UCCX does not support shared lines. They produce event sequences which UCCX cannot handle. We've seen this from several customers now. It appears some configurations were able to use shared lines. Typically those would experience "unexpected behaviors" so it is better to block the configuration earlier and avoid the poor experience for the user and administrator on the backend.

It is not and has never been supported. Now there is an actual block to prevent it. 
Your usage probably violates the licensing agreements as well

I have a client with numerous small sites all over. The run a UCCX 8.0.2.10000-41 cluster. They used to have a windows version and we did a setup for them for 60 sites as follows: 

- 6 users per site 
- Each user has the Pilot number for the site configured as the 2 nd line 
- 1 user will be an IPCC extension, but this is the same DN as the 2 nd line of all the other phones 
- They use Phone Agent on this one phone to log into the phone agent. 

So now when we used to call in, the call will be queued and presented to the agent and ringing on all the phones on site’s 2 nd line and any of the 5 users could answer the call. 

Now since we upgraded to 8.0.2.10000-41, we getting the following message. “An extension on the agent phone is shared with one or more other devices. This configuration is not supported.” 

My suspicion is that cisco did this for a reason. Previously we could get away with 60 agent licenses and now we will require 300. 

Does anyone know how we can enable shared lines on UCCX?
