Advanced Call Handling

Using Cisco Extension Mobility

Cisco Extension Mobility (EM) allows you to temporarily configure a Cisco Unified IP Phone as your own. Once 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 EM for you.

If you want to...

Then...

Log in to EM 1. Choose > EM Service (name can vary).

2.Enter your user ID and PIN (provided by your system administrator).

3.If prompted, select a device profile.

Log out of EM 1. Choose > EM Service (name can vary).

2.When prompted to log out, press Yes.

Tips

EM automatically logs you out after a certain amount of time. This time limit is established by your system administrator.

Changes that you make to your EM profile (from the User Options web pages) take effect the next time that you log in to EM on a phone.

Settings that are controlled on the phone only are not maintained in your EM profile.

Using BLF to Determine a Line State

Depending on configuration, you can use the Busy Lamp Field (BLF) to determine the state of another phone line that is associated with a speed-dial button, call log, or directory listing on your phone. You can place a call to this line, regardless of the BLF status. This feature does not prevent dialing.
