system. Renaming the handset in PDM/Device Manager also makes it easier to find

5.44.1 Shared Phone Takeover

A user is prompted to enter a User code when logging on to a system. The user code is the
handset extension number. An additional level of authorization may be enforced by an
Authorization Code, which is a parameter that may be set when a handset is first registered
with an IP-DECT master. If the parameter is set, the handset user must enter the
authorization code as a Password in addition to the User code when logging on to the
system. The authorization code is uniquely associated with the handset extension number.
A user who has a shared phone configured with an authorization code and who is logged on
to the system can have his or her handset taken over by a second user, even if the first user
has not logged off from the system. The user initiating the takeover must, however, know
the first user's extension and the authorization code for the takeover to be possible. The
second user logs on from his or her handset using the first users extension number and
authorization code. If the login is successful, the profile, name, system ID and extension
number of the first user is displayed on the second users handset.The first user may receive
an audible warning if such a takeover occurs, but this depends on the configuration of the
handset.
NOTE: Authorization codes should be carefully guarded to prevent careless and
unauthorized takeovers that can render the shared phone unusable for a user who has had
his or her handset taken over.
