Extension Name Display

Description

Users can assign a name, up to 12 characters long, to their extension. Then, when that extension is used to make an intercom call, group call, or transferred call, the name appears on the system display phone receiving the call. Similarly, users receiving a transfer return call see the name of the person assigned to the extension that did not answer the transferred call.

Related Features

Display Language (#303) has no effect on this feature. This means the extension name displays as it is programmed.

Considerations

Any extension, regardless of the phone type on that extension, can be programmed with a name through Centralized Telephone Programming.

If users want to program their own extension name, they must use a system display phone at their extension.

Only extension numbers—not names—are printed on SMDR reports.

You should program Extension Name Display when you first enter Centralized Telephone Programming, before programming any other features. If you want to program both Extension Name Display and Automatic Line Selection (which also must be programmed when you first enter Centralized Telephone Programming), first program Automatic Line Selection, then exit and re-enter Centralized Telephone Programming to program Extension Name Display.
