Business Continuity Preparation
- Backup mobile phones - initial charging
- Monthly battery maintenance charge
(1 hr connection)
Business Continuity - using backup mobiles
WHAT DO I DO? ➔ Turn on the backup mobile phones to receive calls When to act: No calls are coming through to handset(s) or poor call quality (‘interrupted audio’)
Loss of connection
- If the handset ‘fails’ (i.e. not responding to
inbound calls) calls will be auto re-routed to the associated backup mobile phone
- Backup mobiles “paired” with desk handset
Business Continuity - ‘Force Backup’
WHAT DO I DO?
- Turn on backup mobile associated with your desk phone
- Dial 3999, wait for message
