Capacity and Limitations

The boss needs to have an IP phone or a DTS, either with PEN keys. The secretary can either have a DTS, Analog Telephone Set (ATS), Remote extension (RXN) or IP extension (IPeX). The service can be activated or deactivated by either the boss or the secretary, from a DTS or IP phone, by using the PEN key. Note that boss and secretary are not allowed to mix DTS and IP extension types. If the boss has a DTS, the secretary is not allowed to have an IP telephone, and if the boss has an IP telephone, the secretary is not allowed to have a DTS.

A boss can have a maximum of 10 secretaries. A secretary can serve as many bosses as the number of function keys on his/her telephone. When the Boss-secretary feature is active, only calls from the secretary defined for a boss can override the deflection functionality of the boss.

The Personal number list associated to the PEN function key is used for the Boss-secretary functionality. Hence if the Boss-secretary function is active on boss, the numbers of personal number lists on boss are limited to 4. DTS, ATS, RXN and IPeX telephones that are initiated as answering positions in the PN list associated to the function are considered as secretaries
