Manager-Secretary Function (Jabber)
Please Note: This function is only available in RWTH networks or when using a VPN to connect to the university network. |
The manager/secretary function allows the secretary to use the CISCO Jabber client to remotely control the device of their manager in order to manage call redirections.
Should the manager have redirected their calls to the secretary, they can still send calls through to the manager (after confirmation).
This works as follows:
The first step is to select a device to be remotely controlled. Please click on the telephone symbol in the lower right hand corner of the Jabber client. | ![]() |
Now select the managers device as the "device for calls". Please select the appropriate device from the list by clicking on it. | ![]() |
The currently selected device will be displayed by the number on the bottom of the client. To set up a call redirection, click on "redirect calls --> none" (1) Select a line (2) by hovering over it with the cursor. Enter the number you want to redirect to in the field "new number" (3) | ![]() |
This will open a new window to enter the number. possible number formats:
| ![]() |
If you already have a number saved, and just need to reactivate call forwarding, you can simply select the saved number from the list. | ![]() |
You can deactivate currently active call forwarding by simply clicking on the symbol indicated by the Jabber client. | ![]() |
