Configuring the twinning setting

Note

The twinning option is only available if the FortiVoice Cloud administrator has selected Twinning in a user privilege profile (Phone System > Profile > User Privilege - Basic Setting, Twinning) and applied that profile to your extension.

With twinning, you allow an external telephone (cell phone or home phone) to replicate your internal office extension. When your desk phone rings, so does the twin phone.

  1. Go to Preferences.
  2. In Twinning Setting, select one of the following Setting choices and associated options, as applicable:
    • Disabled: Select to disable twinning.
    • Simple: Select to configure basic twinning by adding a phone number.
      • Operation status: Select Activated or De-activated.
      • Number: Enter the phone number to associate with your internal office extension.
    • Scheduled: Select to configure twinning by adding phone numbers based on a schedule or multiple schedules (three maximum).
  3. To configure a programmable key on your desk phone for the twinning function, see Customizing programmable keys on your FortiFone desk phone.
