Hotdesking

Documentation

Hotdesking allows you to temporarily assign an extension to a phone that normally uses another extension (or does not have any extension assigned).

The Hotdesking feature is only supported on E-MetroTel XStim and InfinityOne phones and Nortel IP and digital phones.

When using Hotdesking with different types of phones, the capabilities are determined by the phone in use. For example, if a physical phone with 2 programmable keys is hotdesked to an extension normally assigned to a phone with 4 programmable keys, only 2 programmable keys would be available during the hotdesking session.
