The Host Terminal is the physical telephone that a user can user to log in as
a Virtual Office worker. Both the M3903 and the M3904 can be configured
as Host Terminals; however, a Virtual Office worker is required to log in to
a Host Terminal that matches their Virtual Office telephone type. For
example, when the Virtual Terminal of a Virtual Office worker is configured
as an M3904, the login process is blocked if they attempt to login to an M3903
Host Terminal.
The Virtual Terminal is a set of features configured for a user and defined on
a phantom loop. There is no permanent physical telephone associated with a
Virtual Terminal.
The Virtual Office recognizes all system configuration related to the Virtual
Office Worker. The Virtual Office feature operates on a stand-alone
Meridian 1 and a CS 1000 system only.
Only one active session per user login ID is allowed at one time in the system.
The Virtual Office Worker is identified by their primary DN, which cannot
be used as the primary DN for any other telephone, virtual or physical, in the
system. Use the Station Control Password (SCPW), configured in LD 11 to
validate the login. For further information on configuring the SCPW in
LD 11, refer to Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311).
Nortel recommends that the Host Terminal have at least internal call and
emergency call (911 in North America) capability.
Clearing the Directory Services Password
With Phase III M3900 Series Digital Telephones, the Meridian 1 or CS 1000
system clears the Directory Services password when a Virtual Office worker
logs in or logs out of an M3903 or an M3904 Host telephone. The system
administrator configures this functionality by defining Class of Service as
Erase List Allowed (ELA) in LD 11 for the M3903 or M3904 Virtual
telephone. For further information on configuring ELA in LD 11, see LD 11
on
page 177 .
Clearing the Directory Services Password functionality allows multiple
Virtual Office worker using the same host telephone to have access to
password-protected features if one of the users set the password and does not
turn it off when the Virtual Office worker log out.
