VCX Telephone

Your VCX 3102 Business Telephone must be configured to work in an IP

Model 3102

network. This means your phone must be assigned an IP address so it can

Overview

communicate with other VCX phones and devices. Typically, your

 

administrator assigns IP parameters, including an IP address, as part of

 

the installation process.

 

Your administrator must also assign a password for your telephone. This

 

password associates your telephone extension (and mailbox) with your

 

account. This may allow you to configure another VCX phone in the

 

system to duplicate your primary phone (see the note below). This means

 

if you are away from your primary phone (for example, in a different

 

office), you can program the local phone to use your extension. Any calls

 

made to your extension will ring in both locations and you can access

 

your mailbox from either phone.

 

It is also possible for an administrator to lock an extension to a particular

 

phone. If this is the case, you cannot program the phone to use your

 

extension.

To program the local phone with your primary phone’s extension:

1Press Feature + 600 + 5 + 6 to log out of local phone.

2Press Feature + 600 + 5 + 4 and enter the number of your primary phone.

3Press Feature + 600 + 5 + 6 and enter the password for your primary phone. This associates your extension with the local phone and logs you in to the network.
