Viewing activity details of hot desking extensions

Monitor > Extension & Device > Hot Desking displays details of hot desking users, including:

• Logout: Click to log out a Hot-Desked phone
• Renew: Click to refresh the expiration of the hot desk session.
• Status:The status of the hot desking extension: logged in or logged out.
• Number: The hot desking extension number.
• Display Name: The name displayed on the hot desking extension.
• Host Device: The extension number or MAC address (when a phone is identified as Not Assigned) that a hot desking user logs into.
• Last Login: The last login time at the host device.
• Expiry: The login expiry time.

Hot desking enables users to log into another phone. However, unlike using Follow Me or Call Forwarding which simply redirect a user's calls to another user’s phone, hot desking takes total control of another phone by applying all of the user's own phone settings to that phone until the user logs out. Each user can log into another phone by pressing *11 and enter his extension number and user PIN following the prompts. To log out, a user can press *12.

Depending of the phone model, the host phone may reboot.

For information about configuring hot desking, see Hot-desking.
