Shared Phone Takeover - ASCOM d83 Manual

CONFIGURATION MANUAL
Ascom d83 DECT Handset
− Personal - Select this if the handset is intended to be used by one user only. Shared Phone will be
disabled for this handset.
− Shared - Personal extension - Select this if the handset is intended to be shared between several
users. Each user can log on to the handset to obtain their personal extension number. Shared
Phone will be enabled for this handset.
When registering a handset for the first time in the WinPDM, the Number (User ID) is equal
to the handset extension number. If another user logs on the same handset, the Number is
unchanged. It is recommended to rename Number to, for example, Shared X (where X is a
number) to prevent number conflict if assigning several shared phone handsets the same
extension when subscribing towards the IP-DECT system. Renaming the handset in
WinPDM also makes it easier to find and manage the handset in WinPDM.
− Shared - Device extension - Select this if the handset is intended to be shared between several
users. The dial number is associated with a particular device.
The user logs in to a shared phone and can be called by the extension number configured for the
device. Shared Phone will be enabled for this handset.
The administrator performs the number login on IP-DECT system for the first time. The
number login status in IP-DECT remains the same whether the user logs in or out. Users
are created in Unite Platform Server. For more information, refer to Configuration Manual,
Unite Platform Server, TD 93280EN. After the setup is done by the administrator, the user
can log in to enable the handset functionality. In Shared - device ext. mode the user
authentication is done through Unite system.
For more information about how to log on a handset, refer to the User Manual, Ascom d83 DECT Handset,
TD 93434EN.
A handset can be logged off when it is placed in a charger, see
page 26.
5.47.1

Shared Phone Takeover

A user is prompted to enter a User code when logging on to a system.
If a device is configured to operate as shared phone with personal extension:
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.
