Keep in mind the entire purpose of the 7931 was to replace those key sets (right down to the paper line labels).<br>
The 6900 series is new version in the same line as the 7931.<br>

"The Cisco® Unified IP Phone 6900 Series is a new and innovative portfolio of endpoints that deliver affordable, business-grade, voice communication services to customers worldwide. Three models are available: the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6921 (two-line), Cisco Unified IP Phone 6941 (four-line), and Cisco Unified IP Phone 6961 (twelve-line).<br>
<br>
All three models support full-duplex speakerphones for a more productive, more flexible, and easier-to-use endpoint experience. All models introduce support for single-call per-line appearance, offering a traditional telephony-like interaction for customers who seek this type of call experience for their users. Fixed keys for hold, transfer, and conference; tri-color LED line and feature keys also make the phone simpler and easier to use."<br>

I heard that the 8900 and 9900 phones have this same Call Waiting functionality.....can anyone confirm?<br>
<br>
If this is the case I see it as a big step backwards for Cisco. Who wants a high tech IP phone to act like an 80s key set?<br>

Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] switching between calls on 7931?<br>
<br>
7931 does not support multiple calls on one line. You have to program<br>
additional buttons for that functionality. from product page:<br>
<br>
Manage Call Waiting<br>
The 7931G is designed to work as a key system telephone with each button<br>
handling one call. Call waiting calls are normally<br>
presented on a separate line button. A new call can be answered by<br>
pressing the ringing button. The current call is automatically<br>
put on hold. You can toggle between callers by pressing the flashing<br>
line button; the current call is placed on hold automatically.<br>
If you are on a call when a second call comes in, you hear a<br>
call-waiting tone or see a flashing indicator light on the handset<br>
rest, depending on the configuration of your phone, and the call appears<br>
on a separate line button.<br>
• To answer the new call, press the Answer soft key to answer the call.<br>
The call on the other line is automatically put on hold.<br>
• To return to the original call, press the line button of the original<br>
call to reconnect to it.<br>
• For calls on a separate line, press the Line button for the incoming<br>
call. The call on the other line is automatically put on<br>
hold.<br>
• To return to the original call, press the Line button associated with<br>
the original call.<br>
<br>
<br>
One way to answer multiple calls to one number is to assign the same<br>
number to different partitions/call search spaces. see this document:<br>

<br>
it works well for 7931.<br>
