In one example, an accessory device establishes a connection with a first collaboration device. An acoustic signal encoded with a token and transmitted by a second collaboration device is received at the accessory device. The acoustic signal is decoded at the accessory device to obtain the token. The token is transmitted from the accessory device to the first collaboration device for verification and pairing of the first collaboration device with the second collaboration device.

A call control entity ('entity') communicates with Internet Protocol (IP) phones. Upon receiving from an IP phone a headset connect message indicating that a headset is connected to the IP phone and including a headset identifier of the headset, the entity determines whether there is stored in a call control database a mapping between the headset identifier and a user identifier associated with a user, the mapping configured to provide access to an existing IP phone configuration profile in the call control database. If the mapping exist, the entity completes an extension mobility auto login of the user through the IP phone, which results in acquiring the user identifier from the IP phone. Responsive to completing the extension mobility auto login, the entity accesses the existing IP phone configuration profile based on the user identifier and the mapping, and configures the IP phone with the existing IP phone configuration profile.

A user interface for virtual assistant interactions on a telephony device may be provided. First, a plurality of lines associated with the telephony device, including a designated line for a user and a shared line for a virtual assistant, may be displayed through the user interface. Next, in response to receiving an incoming call to the designated line, a plurality of features associated with handling the incoming call, including an assistant feature to direct the incoming call to the virtual assistant, may be displayed through the user interface. Then, in response to the incoming call being directed to the virtual assistant, a plurality of features associated with managing a conversation between the virtual assistant and a caller during the incoming call may be displayed through the user interface. After the incoming call has ended, a call history associated with the incoming call may be displayed through the user interface.
