CHAPTER 7. SHARING STATIONS 7-3
Finding out who is currently logged in at a station
To find out who is currently logged in at a station, pick up the station and dial *0.
Note: You can also see who is currently logged in by looking at the status bar of the Strata CS
ViewPoint. See
“The status bar” on page 8-12.
Distinguishing incoming calls to a shared station______________
When you share a station with another user and the phone rings, you may want to know which
user the call is for. You can use the following methods to distinguish incoming calls to a station.
The “call for” announcing prompt
With “call for” announcing turned on, when you pick up the phone you hear a recorded message
that says “Call for,” followed by the name of the user whom the call is for. You can then accept
or decline the call using the standard call announcing commands (see “Answering a call using
call announcing” on page 4-2).
Note that pressing
2 or 3 sends the call to the voice mailbox of the user it is for.
To turn on “call for” announcing
1. In Strata CS ViewPoint, choose Tools > Options.
2. In the Options dialog box, click the Call Announcing tab.
3. Check Announce who the call is for.
4. Click OK.
Distinct ring patterns
You and the user(s) who share your station can agree to set different ring patterns for your
incoming calls. For instructions, see “Changing ring patterns” on page 18-11.
Shared stations and personal status_________________________
Your personal status affects incoming calls to your extension only. It does not affect calls to
other users who share your station. For example, if you select the Do Not Disturb personal
status, calls to your extension will not ring the phone, but the phone will still ring for calls to
other users. This includes users who have forwarded their calls to your extension.
