70CHAPTER 6: PERSONALIZING YOUR TELEPHONE

The settings on your telephone, including your extension, personal settings, and system settings, remain the same even when you move your telephone from one Ethernet jack to another, as long as both Ethernet connections are part of the same LAN.

Because your extension and personal settings are associated with your telephone, you cannot switch your telephone with another user’s telephone without first having your administrator reassociate your profile with the other telephone.

Ringer Tones

To help you to distinguish the ring tone of your 3Com telephone from the

 

sound of other phones, use the NBX NetSet utility to select one of nine

 

ringing tones. You can also choose Silent Ring to disable audible ringing.

To change the ringer tone:

1Verify that your computer has a sound device (a USB headset or a sound card with either headphones or speakers).

2Log in to the NBX NetSet utility and go to Telephone Programming > Ringer Tones.

3Click each of the nine Ringer Tone Settings to hear the choices.

4Select the number of the tone that you want.

5Click Apply.

When you choose Silent Ring, the status light or display panel icon flashes when a call arrives, but the telephone never rings. A headset attached to the headset connector of a 3102 or 3102B Business Telephone also plays a tone audible only through the headset.

User Button

You can map the buttons of your own 3Com Basic, Manager, or Business

Mapping

Telephone if your NBX administrator enables this feature for your user

 

group. You can also modify the button mappings for a telephone to

 

override group button mappings unless your administrator has locked a

 

particular feature or features. (A lock icon in the NetSet display indicates

 

whether the button can be remapped.) Call forwarding can occur when

 

locking is enabled.

 

To check if button mapping is available for your telephone, log in to the

 

NBX NetSet utility and go to My Calling Privileges > Call Permissions.

 

Button mapping is available if this feature is enabled.
