    • Allows you to forward or transfer calls from your Vocera devices to your desk phones.

    • If no Vocera Extension is specified, outside callers can connect to your Vocera device by entering your desk extension at the Vocera hunt group prompt, instead of saying/speaking your name.

    • Allows you to send a page and receive the return phone call from a person you paged on your device.

    • If you have appropriate permission and have Vocera Access Anywhere enabled, the Desk Phone or Extension field allows you to be authenticated by Caller ID when you call the Vocera hunt group number.
