2.55 Linked Station Pairs
Description
A station can be logically linked to a primary station so that the two stations function as a single
station. When linked, the two stations effectively act as a single station with the station attributes
of the primary station. The status of one station is reflected in the status of the other and features
activated at one are active at the other. All internal or external calls to a linked pair station will ring
both stations.
All features available to the primary station are available and controllable by the secondary
station, one station may activate Call Forward and the other may cancel the forward. The displays
of the linked stations will display the status of the linked pair. When one is busy, the display of the
linked station will be as shown below.

Operation
System
Operation of Linked pairs is automatic when defined
Conditions
1. Support for Linked Pairs is available with the iPECS IP Phones and UCS client Soft
phones and WIT 400HE WiFi phones only.
2. Intercom calls to the Linked stations always signal in the Tone ring mode and cannot
be changed using the Caller Controlled ICM Signaling feature.
3. Linked pair stations are treated as having a single station number for all features
including LCD displays, station programming, ADMIN access, ACD statistics, SMDR,
etc.
4. The station attributes of the secondary station will follow attributes of the primary
station, i.e. Day/Night COS (Class of Service), CO Warning Tone, CO Auto Hold, CO
Call Drop, DID Call Waiting, Speed Access, Alarm, Voice Mail Access, DND, FWD,
Paging, outside Line Access, outside Line Ring Assign, etc.
5. If one station of a Linked pair is busy, the other station of the linked pair is also
considered as busy, thus use of the linked station to place a call is not supported.
6. A station can be linked to another station without registration to the system. This allows
a station to be linked without affecting the overall capacity of the system. In this case,
only an iPECS IP or LDP Phone, or SLT can be used as the unregistered linked station.
In other cases, the linked station must be registered with the system, reducing the
system capacity by one.
7. The IP Attendant application can be linked as the secondary phone only.
8. A SIP Phone cannot be part of a linked pair.
9. Linked pair station cannot call the other member of the pair. It is possible to place a
