Based on the above sample short code, Paul (extension 2040) can go to another phone (even if it is already logged on by another user) and log on as extension 2040 by simply dialing *35*2040*123456#. Once Paul has logged onto this phone, extension 2040 is logged out at Paul's original phone. When Paul logs out of the phone he has "borrowed" by dialing *36, his original extension will automatically be logged back on.
