Managing Phone Extensions 99
Starting Phone Extension Enter the phone extension for the phone you want
to add.
Each phone extension must be unique within the
entire VCX system, including all regional and branch
offices.
Note: Valid extensions are determined by the dial
plan you have configured for this site. See Adding
Dial Plans. Depending on the dial plan, a valid
extension can range from a minimum of 2 digits to a
maximum of 10 digits.
If you are creating multiple phone extensions, enter
the extension number that starts the phone
extension range. VCX software will create
consecutive phone extensions by incrementing this
starting number by 1 up to the value entered in the
Number Phones to Create field.
For example, if you enter 10 in the Number Phones
to Create field and enter 2000 in the Starting Phone
Extension field, VCX software creates 10 extensions,
2000 through 2009.
If one or more extensions within the range already
exist, VCX software skips the existing extensions and
resumes numbering. You cannot, however, exceed
the 10-digit maximum for an extension. For
example, if you try to create 10 phone extensions
but specify a starting extension of 9999999995,
VCX software will create 5 extensions only
(9999999995 through 9999999999).
Name Specifies the name to be displayed on the phone
LCD Display Panel.
If you are creating multiple phone extensions, enter
a generic name such as “New User”.
Phone Password Specifies the password for the phone. This is the
password the user enters to log on to a telephone
and is used for phone registration.
The password is automatically generated and, by
default, is 12345. If you are creating a single phone
extension, you can enter a different password.
Note: The first digit of the password cannot be zero
(0). The minimum password length is 4 digits; the
maximum password length is 9 digits.
Confirm Password Reenter the password for the phone or accept the
default, system-generated password.
