Lock Station 1

[macc1481]

I have a Merlin Magix, and I want to know the way to lock a station. The problem is the following, the extension must call to outside without authorization code, only dial 9, but when the person leave his position he want to block the station for nobody can make calls.

Thanks for your help

I know the Legend doesn't have that feature, but you can try one of the following:
1. Unplug the phone
2. Put a hidden switch on the jack
3. Put a key switch on the jack
4. Remove the handset

Hope this helps!

Lock the office door?

On second thought, even if there WERE a "lock" feature, there would still have to be an unlock code for it, so why not just use the authorization code?

Well, there is rather tricky way to do it, but you can not have any Calling Groups other than Voice Mail, and the OPERATOR has to make it happen. (Or the user, if they are on an Operator Position).

In fact, a 10 button set could work.

You would have to use Extension Status and set the system up for HOTEL Mode Ext Status.

Then an ES2 button could be placed on their phone (Like on one of the HIDDEN SPEED DIAL BUTTONS #01 to #24 - depending on the set).

This would let the user toggle his status from AVAILABLE (Not able to dial) to OCCUPIED (Able to dial).

Again, this can only be done on a phone in an OPERATOR port, and the System ESS Mode has to be HOTEL.

Thank for your help merlinman. It works very well, changing to mode hotel the operator can block the station/

OK Fine!

I'm glad it worked for you.

It took me a bit to figure that out.

I was unaware that PARTNER had station lock, but now, so does LEGEND/MAGIX kinda'.
