Remote Phone

The Remote Phone feature provides the capability to set up a remote phone to act
as if it were your IP phone. Instead of placing and receiving calls from your IP
phone, calls are made and answered from the Remote Phone.
For example, if you configure your cell phone to be your remote phone, all calls
coming into your IP (office) phone would ring your cell phone instead. Callers will
hear an announcement asking them to wait while the called party is located and
giving them the option to leave a voice mail.
For this feature to be available, a Remote button must be provided on your IP
phone by your service provider. However, the IP phone does not have to be in
service for the Remote Phone feature to be operational.
NOTE: If you dial 911 from the remote phone while it is in remote mode (it will
be playing on-hold music), an announcement tells you that 911 is not allowed
from Remote Phone and advises you to hang up the phone and try again. Until
you hang up the phone and disconnect from the Remote Phone feature, you
will receive the announcement.

Dial-in Setup of Remote Phone

To set up a remote phone by dialing in, you must call using the remote phone where
your IP phone calls will be forwarded.
1. From the remote phone (example, your cell phone or a hotel phone), dial the
Remote Phone access DID number. Your system administrator should have
provided this number to you.
EXAMPLE: The user dials the Remote Phone DID 469-555-2203 from the
destination phone.
2. Enter the phone number of your IP phone followed by the pound sign (#).
3. Enter the password for your IP phone followed by #.
4. DO NOT hang up the destination phone. Leave it off-hook.
5. If a call comes in, press star (*) to answer the call.
6. Disconnect from a call by pressing "###", which will leave the Remote Phone
active (you will hear hold music playing).
NOTE: Be aware that if you are using a cell phone, the phone is still in an
active call.

Deactivating Dial-up Remote Phone

If you hang up the remote phone, it will deactivate the Remote Phone connection.
