How the Teleworker Application Works

The Teleworker client telephone at the remote office connects to a Teleworker server host on
the one-X Quick Edition network—any Quick Edition IP Telephone or G10 PSTN gateway on
the one-X Quick Edition network can act as a Teleworker server host.
After you enable Teleworker mode on a Quick Edition IP Telephone, the Telephone becomes a
Teleworker client and can be given to a user who works in a remote office, from home, or
anywhere else that has a connection to the Internet. When the user installs the Telephone
remotely, the Telephone must be connected to a computer, network, or high-speed modem that
has high-speed access to the Internet.

In addition to being equipped with a high-speed (cable/T1/ E1/ADSL) Internet connection, the
remote office must be equipped with Virtual Private Network (VPN) capabilities. A VPN server
on the one-X Quick Edition network and the VPN client at the remote office must both be
configured to provide a secure VPN tunnel through which P2P communications can take place.
The VPN tunnel secures remote access to the one-X Quick Edition network and supports
seamless communications among all Quick Edition IP Telephones connected to the network.

Configuring the Teleworker Application

You can add a Teleworker client telephone to the one-X Quick Edition network locally, or from a
remote office. This section explains how to configure a Teleworker client telephone by
connecting it to the one-X Quick Edition network directly. For information about how to add a
Teleworker client telephone to the network when the telephone is already at the remote office,
see Adding a Teleworker Client to the Network from a Remote Location
Configuring a Teleworker client telephone by connecting it to the one-X Quick Edition network
directly involves these high-level steps:
1. Select a new Quick Edition IP Telephone for the remote office. The Telephone must have
factory configured settings.
2. Ensure that all other Quick Edition IP Telephones and G10 PSTN gateways making up the
one-X Quick Edition network are connected to the network, and that they are operational.
3. Connect the selected Quick Edition IP Telephone to the one-X Quick Edition network.
4. After the Telephone initializes and an appropriate name and extension number for the
Teleworker client telephone have been added to the Corporate directory, enable
Teleworker mode on the Telephone as described in
on a Quick Edition IP Telephone on page
5. Move the Teleworker client telephone to the remote office.
