Push-To-Talk (Ptt) Group Call; Handset Locks - ASCOM d83 Manual

Handset Configuration
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.
If a device is configured to operate as shared phone with device extension:
The user code is a personal user ID which a system administrator defines in the Unite PS. The user
password is also defined in the Unite PS system, is uniquely associated with the user ID, and is
always required to be entered when user performs log in.
A user who has a shared phone configured with device extension and who is logged on to the
system can have his or her account taken over by a second user, even if the first user has not
logged off from the system. The user initiating the takeover needs to know the credentials of the
first user for the takeover to be possible. The user initiating the takeover will also receive a
dialogue window indicating that another user will be forcefully logged out, with a possibility to
confirm or decline the takeover. The first user will be notified with a dialogue window that the
account has been taken by another user, and may also receive an audible warning if such a
takeover occurs, but this depends on the configuration of the handset.
