question

Hello Oyen,

You can add a softphone to the Call Handling and Forwarding of another extension. If you want a Users to be able to have both their deskphone and their softphone to ring then you need to add both devices to the call handling and forwarding rules.

For instance, Boba Fett has a deskphone and a softphone as you can see below.

 

I want Boba's softphone and deskphone to rings in my the Call Handling and Forwarding rules for Ext. 10260. I will go to Call Handling and Forward for Ext. 10260, select Forward to other user's phones, and then select both Boba's softphone and deskphone.








I hope this helps. Let me know if I misunderstood the request.

Thanks!

Thanks for this reply. However, our particular user does not have a deskphone. It is only a softphone with a headset. We want to include the Softphone in Call Handling and Forwarding for existing extensions. How is this accomplished?

Perhaps that is the issue. How do we setup a user for a softphone. This user will only use softphone and does not have a physical phone or line. 

Thanks, we've done this and the softphone has been added as a new user as ext 10. However, when we click on a different user ext. 1 and select Calling Handling and Forwarding > Forward to other user's phones, the new softphone user is not listed. Instead we see a previous softphone user. How can we get the new user to appear on the list so that calls to ext 1 will be forwarded to it. I have attached a screen shot.

Oyen, Just letting you know I created case 05450629 and another agent will be assisting you with this.
