Implementing FAX Attendant

Adding a Special Purpose Extension

Special purpose extensions are added to the database for purposes other than as normal end-points for voice, fax, or data transmission. For example, special purpose extensions can be used to provide a mail box for subscribers who do not need a physical telephone extension but who would like to be able to receive and retrieve voice mail (guest mailboxes).

NOTE:

For this procedure, you must use an extension number that is not already defined in the Extension Directory database. Do not use an extension that starts with the same digits as regular extensions and adjuncts on the switch. For example, do not use 123 as a special purpose extension if 12 is a regular extension. For more information about special purpose extensions and guidelines to use when creating special purpose extension numbers, see the AT&T AUDIX Voice PowerTM/FAX Attendant SystemTM Planning and Implementation document.

To add a special purpose extension, follow these steps:

1.Write the information for the new special purpose extension on Forms DX, DA, and DF from the AT&T AUDIX Voice PowerTM/FAX Attendant SystemTM Planning and Implementation document.

2.From the IS-III Main Menu, move the cursor to the Extension Directory field, and press Enter . The Extension Directory form appears.
