Desk phone no longer rings for Queue calls
Prior to the last update we had users whose Desk Phone would ring at the same time as their Soft Phone when they received a call in Queue. These users were logged into the queue via their Soft Phone...

nateneb I have confirmed that there was no change to the behavior in the latest update. If the queue's Ring strategy is set to Ring All available agents, as long as they are logged into both, both devices will ring at the same time. Non-queue calls will also ring both user's devices at the same time.
If you have users who are confirmed as signed into both desk and softphones who are not seeing queued calls ring on both, please call our toll-free support so they can investigate and gather more details.
Thanks for the follow up.
In my original description, I indicated the agents were ONLY logged in to the queues via the Soft Phone, not the Desk Phone, and yet the Desk Phone rang at the same time as the Soft Phone when a queue call came in. The queue's Ring strategy was set for 'Longest call wait'.
Unfortunately, the behavior no longer works since the update, so there is no way to confirm it again now. It might be possible there was a misunderstanding with how things were ringing.
Thanks for checking on any changes.
I did find something interesting in testing, which you alluded to in your last reply.
You indicated that all devices logged into the queue should ring in a Ring strategy of 'Ring All' setting.
We use 'Longest call wait' setting and while testing for the above conditions, I noticed that the Desk Phone and the Soft Phone, when both logged into the same queue under the same extension appeared like two separate agents. That is, an incoming call to the queue considered the Desk Phone a separate user, ringing it first, while the Soft Phone remained silent. The next test call to the queue rolled over to the Soft Phone while the Desk Phone remained idle.
I'm wondering if you can confirm this is the expected behavior for this setup/testing.
