If a phone number is one of the digital device types, you can log in and log out of handsets remotely using the essensys Platform:

  • Log in by selecting the Phone ID (also known as a FSHID) for the handset that you want to log in to. Tip: The Phone ID is displayed on the handset screen.

  • Log out of the device / handset and return the Phone ID to the pool of available handsets.

Notes:

  • Remote login, or login from essensys Platform, is only available for digital devices. If your device is not one of the digital types, you need to login from its handset.

  • The digital device types include Mitel Flex, Polycom Flex, and Yealink Flex devices.
