Twinning between portables and Enterprise Edge wireline telephones

Using Answer DNs
If you have both a wireline (desk) telephone and portable telephone you can answer
calls from either device by using Enterprise Edge's Answer DN feature. Any call
that normally rings at your desk can also appear and ring at your portable if it is
assigned the desk telephone DN as an Answer DN. This arrangement is called
twinning.
It is also possible to have calls to the portable appear on the desk telephone as an
Answer DN.
An Answer DN for a desk telephone and portable is programmed exactly the same
way as for two desk telephones. An installer programs Answer DNs.
You can have up to eight Answer Keys assigned to your portable.
The types of calls that your portable's Answer Keys receive are programmable. See
the "Answering calls" on page 29 for more information.
Voice mail message waiting indication occurs on the twinned portable only if it has
been assigned a voice mail box.

Tips
Hunt Group calls cannot be forwarded using the Call Forward features.
An Answer DN is the recommended method for twinning a portable with a
desk set. This ensures that all calls arriving at the desk telephone appear and
ring at the portable. A twinned portable using an Answer DN does not ring for
an incoming call if it is currently on another call.
