WARNING
If connecting more than 2 IP Office systems, take care to ensure that you avoid creating a 'mesh' configuration. That is one where there is more than one route via IP Office IP Lines to get to from any particular IP Office system to another. For example in a three switch configuration with switches A, B and C; using IP lines it should be possible to get from A to C either directly or via B but not by both options. Where the network IP configuration allows the safest IP Line configuration option is to use one IP Office as the central hub for all IP Lines in a 'star' configuration. Each branch IP Office is configured with an IP Line to the central hub while the central hub has multiple IP Lines, one for each branch IP Office. For full details see Supported SCN Network Layouts.

Click the Line configuration form to display a list of existing lines.
3.
Right-click on the displayed list and select New.
