Boss/Secretary Function
The boss/secretary function protects the boss telephone from direct calls by rerouting them to
the secretary. The most important difference from call forwarding is that the boss telephone can
still be called from the secretary telephone and the secretary can still transfer important calls to
the boss telephone.
Configuring the Boss/Secretary Function
The boss/secretary function is configured on the system telephones in question. The configu-
ration and operation of the function is described in detail in the manual for the system
telephone.
Requirements:
•
At least two System telephones, which support function keys for the boss/secretary function
(optional, see the telephone manual)
1. Configure a function key as a secretary key on the manager's telephone.
2. Configure a function key as a boss key on the secretary's telephone.
Note:
On the secretary's telephone, in addition to the boss key, it is also a good idea
to configure a speed dialling key for the phone number of the manager
telephone in order to keep track of whether it is busy or not.
In order to recognise a call coming from the secretary's telephone, the
secretary's phone number can be entered into the telephone book on the
manager's telephone and assigned a specific ringtone.
