Assistant Phones
Assistants access the IPMA features on the computer using the Assistant Console application or directly on
the assistant phone through phone services and softkeys.
Your administrator configures IPMA in either proxy-line or shared-line mode. In shared-line mode, the
assistant phone and the manager phone share a single directory number. In proxy-line mode, the assistant
phone has a primary line and proxy lines to handle calls for manager phones.
To access Assistant Services, the assistant phone needs to subscribe to the Assistant Primary Phone Service.
It may also be necessary to subscribe to Assistant Secondary Phone Services. You subscribe to services from
the Application menu.
To handle calls for managers, the assistant phone must log in to the IPMA service. IPMA supports Single
Sign On (SSO). If you have logged into the Assistant Console you do not need to log in to the IPMA service
on the phone.
