Hot Desking: Your Telephone Goes Wherever Your Desk Is

2.8 Hot Desking: Your Telephone Goes Wherever
Your Desk Is
"Hot Desking" means that you log in to the telephone at your desk and your call
number and your telephone settings are available to you on that phone. This
function is particularly interesting for companies whose staff travels quite a bit.
When a "Hot Desking" user is working in the office, he/she simply logs in to any
available telephone. This telephone will then have the corresponding properties
and profile of the logged in user. When he/she makes a call from this phone, his/
her name and call number are what the caller sees. And vice versa - the user can be
reached via his/her usual call number.
To be able to use this function, the system administrator has to configure a user
interface for you for a system telephone. This involves saving your internal call
number along with a certain terminal type in the database of the communications
system. When you load this user interface to a system telephone, you can pro-
gramme keys, add telephone book entries, edit lists, etc. as you usually do. All
these settings are always saved along with your user interface and placed in the
communications system database.
Which System Telephones Can I Use?
This function is supported on the standard system telephones Aastra 6771/6773/
6775 (OpenPhone 71/73/75), as well as the IP system telephones Aastra 6773ip
(OpenPhone 73 IP)/Aastra 6775ip (OpenPhone 75 IP) (please refer to the chapter
VoIP Telephones starting on page 87 also). The user interfaces are compatible with
standard system telephones and IP telephones. When the system administrator
has configured a user interface for you for the Aastra 6775 (OpenPhone 75), you
can load it for the same type of IP telephone, the Aastra 6775ip (OpenPhone 75 IP)
and vice versa. The same applies to the Aastra 6773 (OpenPhone 73) and
Aastra 6773ip (OpenPhone 73 IP) telephones.
The system administrator can set up multiple user interfaces for your internal call
number, e. g. for an Aastra 6771 (OpenPhone 71) and an Aastra 6773
(OpenPhone 73), so that you have a wider selection to choose from. If you have
multiple internal call numbers, the system administrator can set up user interfaces
for each of these.
