    • PIN-based authentication
      • When users do not integrate the phone with the computer, PIN-based authentication allows most tasks to be performed. This mode provides basic features for the signed-in user necessary to perform voice communications and most of the advanced functions. Some features will be limited however such as call logs will be generated for local activity only, voicemail access will be through voice menu only, there will be no calendar information and there will be no Microsoft Outlook Contact integration.
    • Common Area phone support
      • For common areas such conference rooms, kitchens or lobbies, a phone with traditional voice functionality is all that is needed. Signing in on the phones with Common Area accounts provides that functionality along with other features such as requiring administrator password for viewing or changing settings. The Common Area accounts will use PIN-based authentication.
