Direct Extension Assignment
This feature lets you program another telephone in the same corporate system to
be your telephone. For example, you are visiting a branch office for an extended
business trip and you want to program a "guest" telephone to ring as your
telephone while you are there. This feature requires your old phone and the "new/
guest" phone to be the same type of phone.
Programming a Guest Phone
To program a guest phone to act as your phone, follow these steps:
1.
From the guest /new phone, dial 588 (or the code provided by your system
administrator). You are prompted to enter the telephone number which you
want that phone to be (Presumably, your "original/old" phone number).
2.
Enter your complete 10-digit telephone number, followed by the # key. You are
prompted to enter a password. The password default is the last four digits of
the phone number entered in this step.
3.
Enter your password, followed by the # key. The phone is now programmed to
be your phone and your old phone is removed from service.
NOTE: When you reassign your telephone number to the new phone, the
button template from your "old" phone is assigned to the "new" phone.
Re-establishing the Guest Phone
To reset the guest phone to its original number, follow the steps to program a
phone, using the original phone number and password of the guest phone.
Re-establishing Your Old Phone
Once you have programmed another phone with your old phone's extension, you
must reconfigure your old phone before using it. Your old phone displays the
message "Pickup handset to configure". Pickup the handset and perform the
following steps:
1.
Enter your old 10-digit phone number, followed by the # key. You are
prompted to enter a password.
2.
Enter the password, followed by the # key. (Your password is typically the last
four digits of your phone number.) The phone is now programmed back to its
original extension.
