Applies To
This information applies to
- innovaphone phones

More Information
This document describes the configuration of a Chef/Secretary scenario, when a combination of third party (chef) and innovaphone phones (secretary) is used.
In this combination, many but not all of the required features will work. Please note that we do not recommend to use 3rd party phones for the secretary, as this will severely limit the functionality.
System Requirements
The third party phone must support SIP or H323 as signalling protocol.
Installation
Both phones register at the PBX. The third party phone is registered as an 'executive' object in the pbx.
For more information on the correct configuration of this scenario, please refer to: Configuration of Chef/Sek Functions.

- if no secretary is active, the call may be passed directly to the 'executive' user
- secretary and other special users can make direct calls to the 'executive' user
- 'executive' user can make direct speaker announcements to secretary
Not Working Features
This features will work only if the 'executive' user is also registered at an innovaphone phone.
