Roaming User
Roaming User is a PBX COMtrexx function.
This function enables users who work, for example, in a large office with workplaces that are not assigned to specific people (i. e. "free seating" or "hot desking") to access any telephone that is configured in the PBX. In this way, the user can access the telephone system in the usual way, with their personal settings and authorisations.
Large office use case
The office has workplaces (with telephones) that are not assigned to specific people. These telephones are not assigned to a particular user or roaming user. A roaming user can now log on to one of these telephones. When they change workplace, they simply need to log on to a different telephone.
Office/home office use case
A roaming user has a telephone that is configured in the PBX at their office workplace and in their home office. To move from their office to their home office, the roaming user simply has to log on to their home office telephone.
Requirement for use
Roaming User authorisation must be assigned to the user in the PBX.
Process for logging onto/logging off the telephone
1.The function key Login / Logout is provisioned by the PBX.
*Note: If the user is logged out, the PBX provisions the Login function key . After the user logs in, the PBX uses provisioning to replace the Login function key with the Logout function key.
2. Login: The user uses the Login function key to log on to the required phone with their PIN and user phone number.
3.All the user needs to do is log on to a different telephone.
The following regulations/restrictions apply:
−When the user starts using a different telephone, they are automatically logged out of the telephone they were using previously.
−A user can only ever use one telephone at once.
−If a user who is authorised to use the Roaming User function changes to a different telephone, they will either find the entries for the local caller list or the central caller list on it, as before (if the corresponding function is enabled).
