Terminating a Hoteling Guest/Host Association
The BroadWorks Connector performs the following actions when it terminates a hoteling association:
- Sends a request to the BroadWorks XSP server to set the guest subscriber’s agent status to signed out;
- Sends a request to the BroadWorks XSP server to cancel unconditional call-forward on the host’s subscriber id;
- Sends a request to the BroadWorks XSP server to end the hoteling guest/host association.
The following diagram and table shows the sequence of requests and events that are passed between BroadWorks Connector and the BroadWorks XSP server:
