NDA-30015 Revision 1.0Page 1 Roamer User Guide General Description Roamer enables you to take your incoming telephone calls and your calling privileges with you no matter where you go within your office. If you are permanently assigned to a telephone (home phone), you can relocate to any other telephone in the system. If you do not have your own telephone, you can make any telephone in the system your own at any time. When you relocate to another telephone or reset your home telephone, all of your incoming calls are transferred to the new location, and your privileges and restrictions apply to any outgoing calls you make from that telephone. With Roamer, all telephone numbers become portable. Here’s How it Wo r k sThe following steps describe how to use Roamer: 1. Press the Roamer function key on any telephone in the system to initiate the pro- cess. 2. When the ID number prompt appears on the telephone display panel, enter your ID number. Then, do one of the following: • Relocate your calls and privileges to another telephone. Set or reset a home telephone. Review the people who are located on any telephone. Send everyone who is located on a telephone to their own assigned tele- phones. 3. You can quit a procedure at any time by pressing the Roamer function key a sec- ond time. Any procedure that is partially complete when you press the function key is cancelled. Operating GuidelinesThe following list describes operating guidelines for Roamer: When you relocate away from your permanently assigned or designated home telephone, the Roamer function key on your home telephone flashes until you return. When multiple people are assigned to one home telephone, this function key flashes when any one of them is not home. When more than one person is assigned or relocated to a telephone, the privilege level in effect can be the highest among all those assigned on that telephone, the lowest among those assigned to the telephone, or the one most recently added. The privilege level in effect is indicated on the far right of the display. Valid values are: H (highest), L (lowest), and R (most recent). When you move away from a telephone on which several people are located, the privileges put into effect depend upon the setting of that phone. If it is set for Highest or Lowest, the privileges of the person with the highest or lowest level are in effect. If it is set for Most Recent, the privileges that are placed in effect are those of the last person that relocated to the telephone before you. Roamer uses a backup database to ensure that no telephone assignments are lost in the event of a power failure. Roamer restores all current locations when it recovers.
Page 2NDA-30015 Revision 1.0 Roamer User Guide Roamer can be set to display names of the parties in a call. It can also be set to return everyone in the system to their permanently assigned or designated home telephones at a specific time of day. Several people can be located on a single telephone at any given time, but no one can be located on more than one telephone at a time. The remainder of this guide contains operating instructions for each of the following procedures provided by Roamer. These instructions include the messages that are displayed on the telephone, the input to each message that is expected from you, and the action that Roamer takes as a result of your input.

This list includes extension numbers and names and is arranged in descending order of privilege level. Resetting Privilege Level in Effect on page 8 – If you are located to a telephone that is set to the Most Recent privilege level, use this procedure to make sure that your privileges are those in effect over anyone else’s who may have located to the same telephone more recently than you did.
