SETUP messages for the Calling Party Number information element, and
incoming SETUP messages are sent point-to-point, not broadcast.
Important: Do not connect more than one device to each Simulator port when
MULTI-POINT is set to NO.
Call Appearances
Another feature of many business telephones, specifically EKTS Mode
Terminals, is the ability to manage multiple calls at one terminal. The
purpose of a Call Appearance is to give the user a method of selecting from
one of several calls and offering an indication of each call’s current status.
