We have a number of employees who are in and out of the office throughout the week and may only spend one or 2 days in house a week. I have been asked if we can setup virtual desk locations for these "transit users" which would free up some needed permanent desk locations in the office.

I believe that Nortel has the capability PBX to PBX can this be done internally on a system.

Many thanks.
 
try using phantom numbers for the users. they can use remote call forward feature to point their calls to where ever they are located, ie extn or cellphone etc

Be Careful using Remote Call Forward. When the call is forwarded, the company forwarding takes the cost of the call (not the original Caller) to it's user, this can get very expensive for mobile to mobile etc
 
by building stations on ports above 15..ie 20 0 0 16, you can use the rcfw feature to retarget these stations to any phone the users sets down at. use any ncos that the user needs. the cfw can be just int. vm if the user is on the road and the user dials a code to take his calls inhouse if he is at a station. the target station should have sfa so that calls to the users number revert to the correct mb. Don't allow remote call forward to 1900 or anything else that might burn you, and check for phone cfw to 9.. that a burn without fail
