Logging In/Out

You may always use the same phone in the same location. However the telephone system provides a number of features that allow you to use any phone on the system to make and receive your calls.

•	Log In You can login at any phone that you want to use. All your calls are then directed to that phone and your user settings are applied to calls made and received. If it is a 1608/1616 phone, your contacts and call log are displayed by the phone.

•	Any existing user of the phone is logged out while you are logged in.

•	If you were logged in on another phone, you are logged out from that phone.

•	Log Out When you log out from a phone (or are logged out by another user logging in), the telephone system may apply several actions:

•	If you have a normal default extension and no one else is logged in there, you return to being logged in on that phone.

•	If you remain logged out, you are treated the same as being on do not disturb except that all calls to you go to voicemail if available.

•	If you have a mobile twinned number, the system administrator can configure the system so that calls are still presented to your mobile twin while you are logged out.

•

Remote Log In
If your phone system is in a Small Community Network of phone systems, it may be possible to login at extensions located on other phone systems in the network. Your system administrator will advise you if you can remote hot desk and what features will still be available to you when you do.

•

Lock/Unlock
Separately from logging in and out, you can lock your phone settings. While locked, the phone can still be used to answer your calls and can be used to make internal calls. However it cannot be used to make external calls and your user settings cannot be accessed through the phones menus.

•

Default Extension
Each extension can be configured with a default user. If you are logged off from an extension, if you have a default extension the system will automatically log you in at that extension if it is not in use by another user. This only happens if you are not configured to forced login.

•	Login Idle Period Your system administrator can configure a timeout which will automatically log you out if you do not use the phone in that time to make or answer a call.

Short codes are numbers that you can dial to enable and disable various features. The following are default short codes that may be available. Your system administrator will confirm any additional short codes that they may have configured for your use.

•	Login: 35N*P# Login to a phone using your extension number (N) and login code (P).

•	Log Out: *36 Log yourself out from the phone where you are currently logged in.
