Locking IP Phones

[Gerardo Fajardo Perez]

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to lock an IP Phone besides using FAC, for example, when one goes out of office and needs to lock the telephone in order to avoid any one else could use it. I know there is a Common Phone Profile named Local Phone Unlock Pasword, but this is for unlock the telephone.

Thanks in advance.

We really do not offer a way to "lock" a phone in such way you need to type a pwd as you do with a mobile.

You would need a 3rd party for that.

What you can do with just CUCM is to configure EM so that then phone only works when a user is logged in.

Hi Gerardo,

Your best bet would be to use extension mobility, when the user leaves their desk, they would log out of the phone, and log back into the phone when they want dialing privledges again.

Hi Gerardo,

If you are looking for a third party app that can do just that maybe you can consider www.2ring.com/ipps. It does profide a phone lock feature so that you can lock your phone when leaving. It does not use extension mobility so it is a bit easier to set up and most importantly the user can use a personal PIN to unlock the phone which is easier to type on the phone keyboard in contrast to type a complex password. It is possible to see a trial or demo. Just contact info@2ring.com.

Hope it helps,
