NOTE
The Cisco SPA 500 Series IP Phones support the “private hold” feature for
MetaSwitch and BroadSoft. Users who have a shared line can press the “PrivHold”
softkey, and the call can only be resumed by the user who placed the call on hold.
Each station with an SLA can be configured independently. Although the account
information is usually the same for all of the stations, settings such as the dial plan
or the preferred codec can vary.
