Greetings,
Is there a way to get multiple appearances of a single extension on multiple buttons on a single phone?
So on phone X, buttons 1, 2 and 3 will all have an appearance of extension 100.
Thanks
David

Yes you can, however I do not believe it is supported in the GUI.
Take the following excerpt from the ephone CLI configuration:
--snip--
isr(config-ephone)#button ?
LINE button-index:dn-index pairs example 1:2 2:5
Configuration line:button with separator feature options:
: normal phone lines
example button 1:2 2:5
s silent ring, ringer muted, call waiting beep muted
example button 1s2 2s5
b silent ring, ringer muted, call waiting beep not muted
example button 1b2 2b5
f feature ring
example button 1f2 2f5
see also 'no dnd feature-ring'
m monitor line, silent ring, call waiting display suppressed
example button 1m2 2m5
see also 'transfer-system full-consult dss'
w watch line (BLF), watch the phone offhook status via the phone's primary ephone-dn
example button 1w2 2w5
o overlay lines, combine multiple lines per physical button
example button 1o2,3,4,5
c overlay call-waiting, combine multiple lines per physical button
example button 1c2,3,4,5
see also 'huntstop channel' for ephone-dn dual-line
x expansion/overflow, define additional expansion lines that are
used when the primary line for an overlay button is
occupied by an active call
Expansion works with 'button o' and not with 'button c'
example button 4o21,22,23,24,25
button 5x4
button 6x4
Different separator options may be use for each button
example button 1:2 2s5 3b7 4f9 5m22 6w10

Hi David,
The method for doing this was nicely outlined by
Paul and Paolo in this great thread;

Hope this helps!

As far as I can tell with my testing, JS recommendation will not work, as you will either get 'duplicate dn [x] assignment' errors, or you will just get what equates to a Busy Lamp Field setup.
The multiple-DN solution seems to work, as I am able to make it look like there is a single extension on multiple buttons, however if you are on one of the lines, any incoming call gets a busy. I was thinking that call-waiting needs to be disabled to the inbound call to this extension would ring through to one of the open lines (via the preference command), but that doesn't seem to be working.
Any insight as to how to make the calls to this extension ring through to the open DN button?
Thanks,
David

Paolo's method should work... if your huntstops are configured correctly, calls should hunt to the next ephone-dn. However I would configure the buttons as 1:1, 2:2, 3:3 and so on instead of using overlay and overlay-extend.
I'll try it as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks much!
I can place simultaneous outbound calls on all the buttons, but inbound calls (when at least 1 button is in use) rings busy.
