Hot Desking
Hot desking originates from the definition of being the temporary physical occupant of a work
station or surface by a particular employee. A primary motivation for hot desking is cost
reduction. This feature is regularly used in places where not all the employees are in the office at
the same time, or not in the office for very long, which means that actual personal offices would
be often vacant, consuming valuable space and resources.
You can use hot desking on the SIP-T48G IP phone to log out of existing accounts and then log
into a new account. As a result, many users can share the phone resource at different times. To
use this feature, you need to configure a hot desking key in advance.
