Shared control

Last Updated : Aug 05, 2021 |

With the Shared Control feature, you can operate phones from the Avaya Workplace Client and use high-quality audio of the phone. All the Avaya J100 Series IP Phones models support the Shared control feature.

Ensure that your phone is registered with Avaya Aura® to establish a shared control connection. When you log in to your phone and Avaya Workplace Client in the shared control mode, you can control the phone through Avaya Workplace Client. You might not establish a shared control session if multiple devices are registered to the same user, depending on the client implementation.

Your system administrator activates the Shared Control feature and configures it on Avaya Workplace Client.

Note:

This feature is available only in the Avaya Aura® environment.

You can perform the following tasks on the Avaya J100 Series IP Phones:

  • make a call

  • place and resume a call on hold
