Virtual Port Used For Floating Hold; Voice Mail; Panavoice -- Panasonic's Digital Voice Mail System - Panasonic DBS-576HD Technical Manual

Chapter 3. System Features
Virtual extensions provide a mechanism for ringing multiple phones simultaneously. For instance, a
Direct Inward Dialing (DID) entry can only be set to ring to one extension number. However, if the
DID is set to ring a virtual extension and the virtual extension is assigned to ring keys on multiple
extensions, the DID will ring the multiple extensions.

Virtual Port used for Floating Hold

You can assign a virtual port that is not assigned an extension number to be used for floating hold.
The virtual port is assigned to an FF key. Calls can then be placed on hold on the virtual port FF key.
Any extension that is assigned the same virtual port FF key can then pick up the held call.
This can be used like a system park feature.
