Device Adapter supports the Hotline one-way feature for UNIStim and digital phones.
Hotline one-way allows an administrator to set a number as an autodial number for a Device Adapter endpoint.
Prior to Device Adapter Release 8.1, the CLID of the X-port number was presented to the far end and a call to the x-port extension was used to ring the user’s hotline key.
Since Device Adapter Release 8.1, the following applies for Hotline one-way:
Configuration of X-port extension for each hotline is not required. Hence, additional endpoint license is not needed.
Configuration of mnemonic is not required. Instead, Hotline one-way uses the autodial button feature with the number configured on the Communication Manager station.
The CLID of the station along with the Hotline button appears on the endpoint.
Note:
The Hotline one-way feature requires a call appearance. If all call appearances are busy and if a user presses the Hotline button, the call attempt fails.
