When using extensions, ArenimTel’s Cloud PBX system makes it possible to display the status of one device on another device. This feature can be useful e.g. in a Manager / Assistant relationship, where the assistant needs to know whether the manager is busy or available to take a call.
By default, ArenimTel’s system can handle the following statuses:
- UNAVAILABLE: if the extension monitored is not logged in to the system, the indicator light on the assistant’s phone will flash in red.
- AVAILABLE AND READY: if the extension monitored is ready to take calls, the indicator light on the assistant’s phone will glow in green.
- AVAILABLE BUT BUSY: if the extension monitored is currently in a call, the indicator light on the assistant’s phone will glow in red.
Manager / Assistant Function
In the case of some managers, it might be preferrable to set up their extensions in a manager / assistant role with another extension. In such a scenario, the manager’s number may not be dialed directly; instead, calls will ring on the assistant’s phone first and can be put through manually.
The feature provides the following options:
- all incoming calls ring only on the assistant’s phone first and can be put through to the manager manually;
- calls ring simultaneously on the assistant’s and the manager’s extension.
