Voice over IP (VoIP)
Forum IPhone 512 / Forum IPhone 545 Hot
Desking
The Forum IPhone 512 / Forum IPhone 545 SIP phones support
the “Easy Configuration / Hot desking” feature. This feature allows
a user to operate his personal configuration on any desired
Forum IPhone 512 / Forum IPhone 545 of equal type.
To prepare a Forum IPhone 512 / Forum IPhone 545 for Hot
Desking, you can configure a function key with the “Logout” func-
tion. If this function key is pressed, the currently assigned device
entry will be marked as “Logged Out” and the Forum IPhone 512 /
Forum IPhone 545 restarts. You can indicate logged out device
entries in the Configurator on the Telephony: Devices: VoIP
Phone page by their shortened MAC address.
After restart, the logged out Forum IPhone 512 /
Forum IPhone 545 will show a login page. A user can enter his call
number and his user PIN. If a device entry with this call number
exists and has the same device type, the login procedure contin-
ues. If the device entry is currently active on another device, the
associated remote Forum IPhone 512 / Forum IPhone 545 will be
logged out automatically and will show a login page on its part.
The now logged in Forum IPhone 512 / Forum IPhone 545 starts
and will get its configuration from the newly assigned device
entry.
Note: When adding the device entry, it is also possible to activate
the Logged out option.
