Hot Desking originates from the definition of being the temporary physical occupant of
a work station or surface by a particular employee. A primary motivation for Hot
Desking is cost reduction. This feature is regularly used in places where not all the
employees are in the office at the same time, or not in the office for very long at all,
which means actual personal offices would be often vacant, consuming valuable space
and resources.
You can use Hot Desking on the SIP-T28P IP phone to log out the existing accounts and
then log in a new account, that is, many users can share the phone resource in different
time. To use this feature, you need to configure a Hot Desking key in advance.

You can use multicast paging to quickly and easily forward time sensitive
announcements out to people within the multicast group. You can configure a multicast
paging key on the phone, which allows you to send a Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP)
stream to the pre-configured multicast address(es) without involving SIP signaling. You
can configure the phone to allow it to receive an RTP stream from pre-configured
multicast listening address(es) without involving SIP signaling. You can specify up to 10
multicast listening addresses.
To configure a multicast paging key via phone user interface:
1. Press Menu->Features->DSS Keys->Memory Keys (or Line Keys).
2. Select the desired DSS key.
3. Press or , or the Switch soft key to select Key Event from the Type field.
4. Press or , or the Switch soft key to select Multicast Paging from the Key
Type field.
5. Enter the multicast IP address and port number (e.g. 224.5.6.20:10008) in the Value
field.
6. Press the Save soft key to accept the change or the Back soft key to cancel.
You can also configure a multicast paging key via web user interface at the path
Phone->DSS Keys.
You can also configure the phone to use a default codec for sending Multicast RTP
stream via web user interface.
To configure a default codec for multicast paging via web user interface:
1. Click on Phone->Features.
2. Select the desired codec from the pull-down list of MulticastCodec.
77
User Guide SIP-T28P IP Phone
If G722 codec is used for multicast paging, the phone LCD screen prompts "HD" to
indicate that is providing high definition voice.
Multicast RTP is one way only from sender to the multicast address(es) (receiver). For
outgoing RTP multicasts, all other existing calls on the phone will be placed on hold.
3. Click Confirm to accept the change.
Note
To send RTP stream:
1. Press the multicast paging key when the phone is idle.
The phone sends RTP to a preconfigured multicast address (IP: Port). Any phone in
the local network then listens to the RTP on the preconfigured multicast address (IP:
Port). For both sending and receiving of the multicast RTP there is no sip signaling
involved.
The multicast paging key LED illuminates solid green.
The following figure shows a multicast RTP session on the phone:
Note
2. Press the Hold soft key to place the current multicast RTP session on hold.
3. Press the Cancel soft key to cancel the multicast RTP session.
You can configure the phone to receive a Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP) stream from
the pre-configured multicast address(es) without involving SIP signaling. You can
specify up to 10 multicast addresses that the phone listens to on the network.
You can also change the behavior of how the phone handles incoming multicast paging
calls by configuring specific parameters via web user interface. The specific parameters
are: Paging Barge and Paging Priority Active.
Paging Barge
You can use the paging barge feature to define the priority of the voice call in progress.
If the priority of an incoming multicast paging call is lower than that of the active call,
then it will be ignored automatically. If Disabled is selected from the pull-down list of
78
Advanced Phone Features
The multicast IP addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
The priorities of listening addresses are predefined: 1 with the highest priority, 10 with the
lowest priority.
Both the multicast paging sender and the receiver will play a warning tone when
pressing the multicast paging key.
Paging Barge, the voice call in progress shall take precedence over all incoming
multicast paging calls. The valid values in the Paging Barge field are:
1 to 10: Define the priority of the active call, 1 is the highest priority, 10 is the lowest
priority.
Disabled: The voice call in progress shall take precedence over all incoming paging
calls.
Paging Priority Active
You can enable or disable this feature to decide how the phone handles the incoming
multicast paging calls, when there is already a multicast paging call on the phone. If
enabled, the phone will ignore the incoming multicast paging call with a lower priority,
otherwise, the phone will play the incoming multicast RTP and place the previous
multicast paging call on hold. If disabled, the phone will automatically ignore all
incoming multicast paging calls.
To configure multicast listening addresses via web user interface:
1. Click on Contacts->MulticastIP.
Note
2. Select the desired value from the pull-down list of Paging Barge.
3. Select the desired value from the pull-down list of Paging Priority Active.
4. Enter the multicast IP address(es) and port number(e.g. 224.5.6.20:10008) which the
phone listens for incoming RTP multicast in the Listening Address field.
5. Enter the label in the Label field. Label will appear on the LCD screen when
receiving the RTP multicast.
6. Click Confirm to accept the change.
Music on hold (MOH) is the business practice of playing recorded music to fill the
silence that would be heard by the callers who have been placed on hold. To use this
feature, you should specify a SIP URI pointing to a Music on Hold Server account, when
placing a call on hold, the phone will invite this SIP URI to the Music on Hold Server
account. The Music on Hold account automatically answers to the SIP INVITE messages
and immediately plays audio from some source located anywhere (LAN, Internet) to the
held party. Contact your system administrator for the SIP URI.
