Off PBX Telephone Integration Users Guide

EC5OO is turned on for your extension through programming performed by Wichita State University, Telecommunications Services. When this feature is activated it will ring your desk phone and your cell phone at the same time.

Because of the association between your cell phone and your desk phone, calls to campus from your cell phone will appear to come from your desk phone. This is can be a more professional presentation, and can hide your cell number to provide savings on cellular minute plans.

A new button will be available on your phone the EC500 activation/deactivation button and the light will shine on that button when it is activated. When It Is activated calls ring both the desk phone and the remote phone (usually cell, but could be any external number).

The next button down is the Extend Call button and will bridge an active call to your cell phone. When pressed during an active call, your cell phone will ring without alerting the party you are talking to. You can then answer the cell phone, then hang up the desk phone and walk out of your office continuing the call on your cell phone.
