I've recently set up PBXIAF with a Sangoma A200 card and am testing it now before going live with it. I have 3 POTS lines I am going to eventually hook up. Our old PBX system would light the line number of the line in use. It appears with the 57i it is not showing line numbers that are active except on the phone that is using the particular line. Sorry to be so confusing. What I guess I am asking, if someone calls in on line 1 and it is active and someone calls in on a second line, can everyones phone show that those lines are in use by lighting up the line?
Question about Aastra 57i phone and line numbers

hold...
If the above is possible, can you then put someone that calls on hold, intercom someone to tell them there is a call for them and what line it is on and they can then simply press the line number to pick up the call or does it have to been done thru the parking lot?

We have the same setup A200 and 57i s. 
The feature you are looking for is called the Parking Lot.

Key Telephone Support Using Park and Parking Lot
Most PBXs do not support shared line appearances like the old key telephones from Ma Bell.
With these phones you could answer a call, place it on hold, and then someone else could pick up the call by pressing the blinking light on their phone. Our Aastra phone setup does much the same thing except, instead of placing a call on hold, you press the Park button. The parked extension number then will be read to you by Allison (starting with 71).
Anyone else on your system can retrieve the parked call by pressing the ParkLot button on their Aastra phone and selecting the call to be retrieved by CallerID.
Or, if the recipient knows the parking lot extension (e.g. 71), the recipient can pick up any phone and dial that extension number to retrieve the call.
