Extn Login allows a user who has been configured with a Login Code (User | Telephony | Supervisor Settings) to take over ownership of any extension. That user's extension number becomes the extension number of the extension while they are logged. This is also called ‘hot desking’.
Hot desking is not supported for H175 and J129 telephones.
When used, the user is prompted to enter their extension number and then their log in code. Login codes of up to 15 digits are supported with Extn Login buttons. Login codes of up to 31 digits are supported with Extn Login short codes.
When a user logs in, as many of their user settings as possible are applied to the extension. The range of settings applied depends on the phone type and on the system configuration.
By default, on 1400, 1600, 9400, 9500, 9600, and J100 Series phones, the user's call log and personal directory are accessible while they are logged in. This also applied to M-Series and T-Series telephones.
On other types of phone, those items such as call logs and speed dials are typically stored locally by the phone and will not change when users log in and log out.
If the user logging in was already logged in or associated with another phone, they will be automatically logged out that phone.
