Hoteling
Hoteling allows users to associate their service profiles with devices other than their own. For example, your
enterprise can set up a visitor’s office with a phone. The user account associated with this phone would have
the Hoteling Host service assigned. A salesperson, with the Hoteling Guest service assigned, can associate
their service profile with the phone in the visitor’s office for when that employee is using that phone.
Hoteling consists of two separate services, Hoteling Host and Hoteling Guest. The first service, Hoteling
Host, is used to designate a particular user as a host and is a feature of the Unified Communications seat,
allowing other users, with the Hoteling Guest service assigned, to associate their service profile with the Host
user’s device. The second service, Hoteling Guest, is used to allow a Hoteling Guest user to associate their
service profile with a Hoteling Host user’s device.
Note: A user who is both a Hoteling Host and a Hoteling Guest cannot associate their Hoteling Guest service to themselves as a Host.
Therefore, even if you are provisioned with both, Hoteling Guest and Hoteling Host services; when you as a Hoteling Guest, list all
available Hoteling Hosts, your name does not appear in the list of available Hosts.
Hoteling Host
To enable your phone as host so that guests may use it, you will need to do so in the Business VoiceEdge
portal, per the instructions that follow below.
The User — Hoteling Host page displays information on the associated guest, as follows:
Item Description
Association Limit The amount of time a Hoteling Guest is allowed to use your device.
If an association limit is enforced, the Enforce Association Limit is displayed beside the
checkmark, for example, 24 hours. The Enforce Association Limit can be modified only
by administrators. If the association limit is not enforced, the Hoteling Guest is allowed to
associate with the Hoteling Host indefinitely.
Last Name Last name of the Hoteling Guest using your device.
First Name First name of the Hoteling Guest using your device.
Phone Number The phone number of the Hoteling Guest using your device.
Extension The extension number of the Hoteling Guest using your device.
Association Date The date the Hoteling Guest began using your device.
To activate your phone device as a guest:
1. Click “On”.
2. If your Host Association Limit is enforced, select the Limit Association to check box and enter a timeout
limit in the Hours text box, after which the hotel-guest association ends. The Limit Association to time
must be equal to or less than the Host Association Limit of the Hoteling Host (see Note below). If the
Host Association Limit is not enforced, you can set an association with a host that will never expire by
un-checking the Limit Association to check box, although the hours text box must still be populated. If the
host does not enforce the association limit but the guest chooses to set the limit, the maximum association
limit hours defined by the guest is not restricted by the host’s association limit hour.
3. To select a host, move a name from the Available Hosts column to the Associated Hosts column.
• On the Available Hosts column, select the host.
• To set the selected host for Hoteling, click “Add”.
Note: A read-only Host Association Limit field appears above the Limit Association to check box after each host is associated. This provides
the timeout limit of the currently selected host. If the current association is removed, the timeout limit information is cleared.
4. Save your changes. Click “Apply” or “OK”. Apply saves your changes. OK saves your changes and displays
the previous page.
