1.25 Portable Station (PS) Features
Feature Guide 301
1.25.6 Virtual PS
Description
An extension number can be assigned for a portable station (PS) without registering the PS unit itself. This
is known as temporary registration. If a forward destination is then assigned for this PS, all calls to that
extension number will be forwarded to the assigned destination. Using this setting to forward calls to outside
destinations or destinations at another PBX allows those destinations to receive calls as if they were within
the PBX. In addition, depending on system programming, the forward destination can use some of the
features of the PBX. This can be especially useful for a cellular phone user, who can use his cellular phone
as if it were his extension when he is away from his desk.
