Log in to a Hot Desking Phone

Prerequisites

You have set up a hot desking phone.
You have enabled hot desking feature for desired extension users.
If the users have their own phones, and may occasionally log in to a hot desking phone, you need to set concurrent registrations.

Extension users can log in to a hot desking phone via either of the following methods:


Method	Instruction
Dial a feature code to log in	On a hot desking phone, dial the Guest In feature code. Note: The default Guest In feature code is `*84`. You can customize the feature code on Call Features > Feature Code > Hot Desking > Guest In. Follow the voice prompt, enter the extension number followed by the `#` key (e.g. 2000#). Follow the voice prompt, enter the voicemail PIN followed by the `#` key (e.g. 8471#).
Press a BLF key to log in	After you set up a hot desking phone, the system automatically assigns a Guest In key to the phone, extension users can press the key to log in to the phone. On a hot desking phone, press the Guest In key. Follow the voice prompt, enter the extension number followed by the `#` key (e.g. 2000#). Follow the voice prompt, enter the voicemail PIN followed by the `#` key (e.g. 8471#). Troubleshooting: If a user failed to log in to the hot desking phone by pressing the Guest In key, you can check if the Guest In feature code has been changed (Path: Call Features > Feature Code > Hot Desking > Guest In).

The user's extension configurations, including extension information and function key settings, are loaded onto the phone; The system automatically assigns a Guest Out key to the phone.
The extension user can use the phone with his or her extension and implement the followings:
- Make calls from the phone.
- Receive calls on the phone.
- Use the function keys of the extension.
- Query contacts that are stored in the PBX on the IP phone via LDAP.
  Note: This requires you to configure the LDAP directory settings for the phone on Auto Provisioning > Phones > > LDAP Directory. For more information about the settings, see Auto Provision LDAP for IP Phones.
You can monitor the hot desking phone status, and know who is working on the hot desking phone on Auto Provisioning > Phones.
