Using Hot Desking
Hot Desking allows Users who may not require a permanent physical extension the ability to use all the
facilities provided by the PBX, eg voicemail, forwarding etc, and the ability to log on to a physical phone
when in the office, for example. An IPUser licence is required to create a new User on the maximiser
(please refer to the Licensing section on page 35 for further information).
Hot Desking Users are given a unique extension number and a Login Code to enable them to log on to a
physical phone, which could be an analogue handset or a PCS, as and when required. A Login Idle Time
can be used to specify how long an extension is idle before that User is automatically logged off.
