General Description
Roamer enables you to take your incoming telephone calls and your calling
privileges with you no matter where you go within your office. If you are
permanently assigned to a telephone (home phone), you can relocate to any other
telephone in the syste m. If you do not have your own telepho ne, you can make any
telephone in the system your own at any time. When you relocate to another
telephone or reset your home t el eph one, a ll of y our incoming calls are trans fe rr ed
to the new locat ion, and your pr ivileges and restrictions a pply to any out going calls
you make from that telephone. With Roamer, all telephone numbers become
portable.
Here’s How it Works
Operating Guidelines
The following steps describe how to use Roamer:
1. Press the Roamer function key on any tele phone in the system to initia te the process.
2. When the ID number promp t appears on the tel ephone display pan el, enter your
ID number. Then, do one of the following:
• Relocate your calls and privileges to another telephone.
• Set or reset a home telephone.
• Review the people who are located on any telephone.
• Send everyone who is located on a telephone to their own assigned tele-
phones.
3. You can quit a procedure at any t ime by pr essing the Roamer functi on ke y a second time. Any pr ocedure that is partial ly comple te when you press t he funct ion
key is cancelled.
The following list describes operating guidelines for Roamer:
• When you relocate away from your permanently assigned or designated home
telephone, the Roamer function key on your home telephone flashes until you
return. When multipl e people a re assigne d to one ho me telephone, this fun ction
key flashes when any one of them is not home.
• When more than one person is as signed or relocated to a te lephone, the pri vilege
leve l in eff ect can be the highes t among all those as signed on that te lephone, the
lowest among t hose ass igned to the telephone, or th e one mos t re cently added.
The privilege level in effect is indicated on the far right of the display. Valid
values are: H (highest), L (lowest), and R (most recent).
• When you mov e away fr om a telephone on whi ch sev eral people are located, the
privileges put into effect depend upon the setting of that phone. If it is set for
Highest or Lowest, the privileges of the person with the highest or lowest level
are in effect. If it is set for Most Recent, the privileges that are placed in effect
are those of the last person that relocated to the telephone before you.
• Roamer uses a backup databas e to ensure that no telepho ne assignments are lost
in the event of a power failur e. Roamer restores all curr ent locations when it
recovers.
