Configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant with Proxy Line Support
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant, a plug-in that allows an assistant to handle calls on behalf of a manager, intercepts manager calls and routes them appropriately. When you configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant in proxy-line mode, the manager and assistant do not share a directory number. The assistant handles calls for a manager using a proxy number. The proxy number is not the directory number for the manager, but an alternate number chosen by the system that an assistant uses to handle manager calls. In proxy-line mode, a manager and an assistant have access to all features that are available in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant, which include default assistant selection, assistant watch, call filtering, and divert all calls.
Perform the following steps to configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant with proxy line support.
