Redirecting Calls: Do Not Disturb
15.4 Twinning
Twinning is a process whereby your calls ring on two phones. Twinning is only available if configured by the system
administrator.
There are two methods of twinning supported, internal twinning and mobile twinning .
Internal Twinning
This method of twinning twins your normal phone with another internal phone. Your incoming calls will ring on both
phones. You can also make your calls from either extension.
A typical example for internal twinning would be a user who uses both a normal desk phone and also needs a mobile
phone while moving around the building.
Your settings are applied to both phones. Similarly message waiting indication and voicemail access from either phone will
be to your mailbox.
If both your twinned phones are use contacts and call log stored on the phone system, the call logs and directory contacts
on each will be the same.
·
T = Twinned
A T is shown on a phone's display if it is internally twinned with your phone. Calls to you will alert on both phones
and can be answered by you at either phone.
Mobile Twinning
Mobile twinning is twinning where your calls ring at both your phone and at another number which can include an
external number. If you have been configured as a mobile twinning user, you can switch use of mobile twinning on or off
