Roamer User Guide
General Description
Roamer enables you to take your incoming telephone calls and your calling
privileges with you no matter where you go within your office. If you are
permanently assigned to a telephone (home phone), you can relocate to any other
telephone in the system. If you do not have your own telephone, you can make any
telephone in the system your own at any time. When you relocate to another
telephone or reset your home telephone, all of your incoming calls are transferred
to the new location, and your privileges and restrictions apply to any outgoing calls
you make from that telephone. With Roamer, all telephone numbers become
portable.
Here’s How it
Works
The following steps describe how to use Roamer:
1. Press the Roamer function key on any telephone in the system to initiate the pro-
cess.
2. When the ID number prompt appears on the telephone display panel, enter your
ID number. Then, do one of the following:
•
•
•
•
Relocate your calls and privileges to another telephone.
Set or reset a home telephone.
Review the people who are located on any telephone.
Send everyone who is located on a telephone to their own assigned tele-
phones.
3. You can quit a procedure at any time by pressing the Roamer function key a sec-
ond time. Any procedure that is partially complete when you press the function
key is cancelled.
Operating
Guidelines
The following list describes operating guidelines for Roamer:
•
•
When you relocate away from your permanently assigned or designated home
telephone, the Roamer function key on your home telephone flashes until you
return. When multiple people are assigned to one home telephone, this function
key flashes when any one of them is not home.
When more than one person is assigned or relocated to a telephone, the privilege
level in effect can be the highest among all those assigned on that telephone, the
lowest among those assigned to the telephone, or the one most recently added.
The privilege level in effect is indicated on the far right of the display. Valid
values are: H (highest), L (lowest), and R (most recent).
•
•
When you move away from a telephone on which several people are located, the
privileges put into effect depend upon the setting of that phone. If it is set for
Highest or Lowest, the privileges of the person with the highest or lowest level
are in effect. If it is set for Most Recent, the privileges that are placed in effect
are those of the last person that relocated to the telephone before you.
Roamer uses a backup database to ensure that no telephone assignments are lost
in the event of a power failure. Roamer restores all current locations when it
recovers.
