If you leave this field blank, smartphone users and outside callers can dial the user's desk phone to be routed to the user's Vocera device. Because the Vocera extension is a virtual phone number, you can put any number in the Vocera Extension field. If a user already has a desk phone number, you can reuse that number for the Vocera Extension field but prepend a digit, such as 8, to make the number unique in the Vocera system. Vocera extensions are not constrained by fixed-length numbers for your PBX. You can also enter DID numbers for Vocera extensions. |
Dynamic Extension |
50 |
As Vocera assigns dynamic extensions, they appear in this read-only field. Because dynamic extensions are assigned on-demand, this field may be empty even after you enable the dynamic extensions feature. Similarly, this field will continue to display an expired number that has not been reassigned; the user keeps the number as long as it is available. See the Vocera Telephony Configuration Guide for more information. |
