Names for Extensions and Lines

Description

Extensions and lines can have names instead of just circuit numbers. These names show on a keyset’s display when the user places or answers calls. Extension and line names make it easier to identify callers. The user does not have to refer to a directory when processing calls. Extension and line names can consist of upper and lower case letters, spaces and punctuation, and can be up to 18 characters long.

Conditions and Defaults

Conditions


  • None.

Default Setting


  • No extension names assigned (the extension’s number displays instead).
  • All line names are LINE followed by the line’s number (e.g., LINE 2).
  • User-entered names are available only at the attendant (Class of Service 1).
