Using Cisco Extension Mobility

Cisco Extension Mobility (Cisco EM) allows you to temporarily configure a Cisco Unified IP phone as your own. After you log in to EM, the phone adopts your user profile, including your phone lines, features, established services, and web-based settings. Your system administrator must configure Cisco EM for you.

EM automatically logs you out after a specified amount of time. This time limit is established by your system administrator. Changes that you make to your Cisco EM profile (from the User Options web pages) take effect the next time that you log in to Cisco EM on a phone. Settings that are controlled on the phone only are not maintained in your Cisco EM profile.

To log in to Cisco EM, use the following method:

1.Choose > Cisco EM Service (name can vary).

2.Enter your user ID and PIN (provided by your system administrator). To log out of Cisco EM, use the following method:

1.Choose > Cisco EM Service (name can vary).

2.When prompted to log out, press Yes.
