Extensions

•Personal extensions appear on one phone only.
•Shared extensions appear on two or more phones, allowing group members to monitor and manage calls. For more information, see Status Indicators.

•If outbound calling is allowed from an extension, you must enter an access code (typically 9 ) before dialing an external number.
