2.24.3.2 Enhanced Walking ExtensionDescriptionIt is possible to use the Walking Extension feature with extensions in Service-in (functions normally) andService-out (cannot make trunk calls or receive calls) modes, allowing extensions and locations (i.e.,telephones) to be utilised more efficiently. Extensions can be set to Service-out mode when the extension useris not using the extension or to prevent calls from being made or received when no one is using the location.The extension can then be changed to Service-in mode when the extension user wishes to use the extension.Enhanced Walking Extension can be utilised as follows:– When a single extension user uses multiple telephonesExtension users can switch locations with a Service-out extension. This allows extension users to use theirsettings at another location while the previous location is in service-out mode. This is ideal for whenextension users need to work at multiple locations, such as another department, branch office, or at home.– When multiple extension users use the same telephoneExtension users can change the service status of their Service-out extension to Service-in mode and switchlocations with another extension with a simple operation. This is ideal for when the same telephone is usedby multiple extension users who work in shifts.Service-out modeWhen an extension is in Service-out mode, the DND and Extension Lock features are set on the extension,preventing the extension from making trunk calls and receiving calls.[Example]Extension settings can be used at other locations as follows:Extn. 102Service-out Service-inExtn. 101Extn. 101Service-outExtn. 102Service-outExtn. 101Service-inExtn. 102Service-outMain OfficeBranch OfficeService-in Service-outService-outService-out Service-out Service-inService-out Service-inExplanation:The extension user of extension 101 changes to Service-out mode at the main office. He then changes hisextension to Service-in mode and switches extension settings at the branch office.Virtual LocationsInstead of assigning all extensions to telephones, it is possible to store unused extensions (i.e., Service-outmode) on a preinstalled extension card (i.e., settings are made but no physical location is utilised). When theextension needs to be used, the extension can switch locations and service status with an extension on aphysical location (i.e., a location with a telephone).[Example]Feature Guide 2612.24.3 Walking Extension Features
