    Sign In to the Desk (Hot Desking)

    A phone in a workspace where the scheduling mode is set to Hot Desking is beneficial in a hybrid work environment where remote employees frequently travel to the office and do not have assigned workspaces. In this scenario, employees may only need access to a phone occasionally while in the office. This feature allows hybrid workers quick access to a device with their personal line and settings without the need to have a permanently assigned device thus optimizing office utilization. Your company prefers to enable hot desking in few phones for your use instead of purchasing phones for all employees.

    In hot desking, if the calling service of a phone is set to Hot desk only, the phone operates in the host mode by default. The phone cannot receive inbound calls and you can press the Emergency softkey to dial emergency numbers only. Besides, you cannot view call history, assign features on line keys, access voicemails, or use Contacts. To access the hot desking guest mode, you can pair your mobile phone with this phone and sign in as a guest for a certain duration.

    LED Color

    Operating Mode Status

    Description

    Green

    Normal operating mode

    The current routing follows the normal operating mode, even if in some periods there is no operating mode configured by your administrator. The feature's operating mode switches automatically under the following circumstances:

    • The current mode reaches its end time.

    • A higher precedence mode reaches its start time.

    Amber

    Automatic switch back exception (Start early)

    You have switched the feature to an operating mode before its start time. This mode runs as an exception until its start time is reached. At this point, the mode automatically switches the feature back to normal operation.

    Automatic switch back exception (Extended)

    You have extended the operating mode before it reaches its end time. This mode runs as an exception until the extension end time is reached. That is, the mode's end time plus an extension of up to 12 hours. At this point, the mode automatically switches the feature back to normal operation.

    Automatic switch back exception (Exception)

    You have switched the feature to another operating mode that is running in its scheduled time, but the original operating mode takes precedence. The mode runs as an exception until its end time is reached. At this point, the mode automatically switches the feature back to normal operation.

    For example, there are Mode A (8 AM to 5 PM) and Mode B (12 PM to 1 PM). The administrator sets Mode B to have precedence over Mode A. Hence, the system operates in Mode B from 12 PM to 1 PM. If you switch Mode B to Mode A during this period, this exception occurs. In this exception state, Mode A remains active until 5 PM.

    Red

    Manual switch back exception (Switch manually)
