phone instead. Callers will hear an announcement asking them to
wait while the called party is located and giving them the option to
leave a voice mail.
NOTE:
If you dial 911 from the remote phone while it is in
remote mode (it will be playing on-hold music), an
announcement tells you that 911 is not allowed from Remote
Phone and advises you to hang up the phone and try again.
Until you hang up the phone and disconnect from the Remote
Phone feature, you will receive the announcement.
Dial-in Setup of Remote Phone
To set up a remote phone by dialing in, you must call using the
remote phone where your PressOne phone calls will be forwarded.
1. From the remote phone (example, your cell phone or a hotel
phone), dial the Remote Phone access DID number. Your
system administrator should have provided this number to you.
EXAMPLE:
The user dials the Remote Phone DID 469-555-
2203 from the destination phone.
2. Enter the phone number of your PressOne IP phone followed
by the pound sign (#).
3. Enter the password for your PressOne phone followed by #.
4. DO NOT hang up the destination phone. Leave it off-hook.
5. If a call comes in, press star (*) to answer the call.
6. Disconnect from a call by pressing “###”, which will leave the
Remote Phone active (you will hear hold music playing).
NOTE:
Be aware that if you are using a cell phone, the phone
is still in an active call.
Deactivating Dial-up Remote Phone
If you hang up the remote phone, it will deactivate the Remote
Phone connection.
