Active EC500 remotely

[NitramTELEBOY]

Can an xported station have ec500 activated using remote-access? Or for that matter can any station have ec500 activated via remote-access?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have EC500 set up on my 4620IP phone. At times that I forgot to activate the EC500 feature, I dialed the telecommuting-access extension and activated EC500. This will work with an internal extension or a DID.

Do you think it will work if the station is exported?

I don't why not, except that call coverage might override the EC500 since calls to x-ported extensions will immediately go to coverage if there is a coverage path. If there is no coverage path callers will get a busy signal. Try it and see.

To add to Jordy's great reply. What I did was I created a VDN so we could dial the activate or deactivate codes. Works great for the 50 or so EC500 users we have.

Of course I had an available 800 and DID # pointed the VDN.
