Appendix F Basic Phone Administration Steps

Configuring the Phone

e.In the Call Pickup and Call Forward Settings pane of the Directory Number Configuration window, choose the items (i.e. Forward All, Forward Busy Internal) and corresponding destinations to which calls should be sent.

Example: If you want incoming internal and external calls that receive a busy signal to be forwarded to the voice mail for this line, check the Voice Mail box next to the “Forward Busy Internal” and “Forward Busy External” items in the left column of the Call Pickup and Call Forward Settings pane.

f.In the “Line 1 on Device...” pane of the Directory Number Configuration window, configure the following:

–Display (Internal Caller ID field)—You can enter the first name and last name of the user of this device so that this name will be displayed for all internal calls. You can also leave this field blank to have the system display the phone extension.

–External Phone Number Mask—Indicate phone number (or mask) that is used to send Caller ID information when a call is placed from this line.

You can enter a maximum of 24 number and “X” characters. The Xs represent the directory number and must appear at the end of the pattern.

Example: Using the john doe extension in the example above, if you specify a mask of 408902XXXX, an external call from extension 6640 displays a caller ID number of 4089026640.

Note This setting applies only to the current device unless you check the check box at right (Update Shared Device Settings) and click the Propagate Selected button. (The check box at right displays only if other devices share this directory number.)
