About sharing stations ____________________________________
In Strata CS you can share your internal or external station (telephone) with one or more other
users, and still use your individual settings such as personal status and dialing permissions. You
might share a station for a number of reasons, including the following:
Q Your office uses shifts, and you and another person use the same desk at different times
of the day.
Q Your office does not have assigned desks, and you might work at a different phone every
day. This is sometimes referred to as hot-desking or hotelling.
Q You frequently move from phone to phone during the day, placing and receiving calls
wherever it’s most convenient.
Q The station you’re using is a phone in a conference room, lab, or other shared location.
This chapter covers procedures you should use if you share a station for these or any other
reasons.
Placing outbound calls from shared stations __________________
How Strata CS handles outbound calls from a station depends on which user is currently logged
in at that station. Only one user at a time can be logged in at a station. When someone places an
outbound call from the station, Strata CS assumes it’s the user who is logged in, and handles the
call as follows:
Q The call is subject to that user’s dialing permissions and restrictions.
Q The call is logged in the Call Log as placed by that user.
If you are using a shared station, before placing calls you should make sure that you are logged
in to the station. To log on, do the following:
1. Pick up the station and enter # <your extension> # <your password> #. (Your office
may use a logon key other than #). This logs you in to the station until you hang up.
2. Optionally, press 5 1 to forward your calls to the station. This logs you in to the station
persistently, and you remain logged in until one of the following things happens:
Q You log off from the station by picking up the phone and pressing *0 0. The station
reverts to its default user. (If you are one of the station’s default users, this
command has no effect.)
Q You exit Strata CS ViewPoint.
Q An amount of time (by default 1 hour) passes with no activity on the station. The
station reverts to its default user. Your system administrator can tell how much time
must pass before the station reverts.
Q Another user logs in at the station.
Note: You can also log on to a station by logging on to the Strata CS ViewPoint at the station’s
computer. For instructions, see
“Logging on to ViewPoint” on page 8-3.
