Hi all, I know this is a stupid question, but it is one I've been trying answer for quite some time. Exactly how many simultaneous calls can the Cisco 7940 have, considering you can be talking to one, and have XXX others on hold? Using SIP, is XXX only 1? I've found documents in various places indicating different values in regard to the max number of calls the phone can handle. I'm just trying to nail down the exact number when the phone is only assigned one directory number (extension). Thanks, Chris

The phone can handle 2 simultaneous calls per line/DN plus an extra call on each line for call transfer.> Thanks, > Chris-Shaun
You can have two calls per line appearance. If you assign both line appearances (both can be the same extension) you are allowed four calls. On Mon, 23 Aug 2004, Christopher L.
