Simultaneous Mode Notes

Last Updated : Jun 20, 2025 |

The following notes relate to the operation of simultaneous telephony:

  • Incoming calls to the user alert on all their devices and they can choose which device they want to use to answer.

  • Whilst the user has a call in progress on one of the devices, any additional incoming call is presented only to that device.

  • It is recommended not to mix simultaneous mode operation with features such as mobile twinning, telecommuting and mobile call controls that can lead to multiple duplicate calls. For example, a mobile client's external PSTN numbers as a active mobile twinning destination will cause duplicate alerts for the same call.

  • Users can have their desk phone and their softphone applications registered to different servers in an IP Office network.

  • Use of simultaneous mode is not supported when also using a non-telephony CTI client to control call handling. In that scenario it is not always possible to predict which telephony client will be used when making/answering a call from the CTI client which can lead to confusion.
