SNR is a feature that allows for a call placed to a given extension to reach/ring multiple destinations simultaneously, such as a desk phone and a cell phone for example. This allows the end user to pick up work calls on his\her cell phone (or any other phone) and only advertise a single number to reach him\her. SNR is schedulable from the end user configuration web page and can be turned on or off from the phone set at the push of a button. For more information, eligibility requirements and configuration requests please contact the Service Desk.
