Planning Guidelines 6

The procedure to add an extension involves several decisions on your part. For example, you must decide which features to assign to the extension. These include calling restrictions, Coverage, calling group, Pickup group, paging group, Night Service, Forced Account Code Entry, and Remote Call Forwarding. You can read about these features in the Feature Reference.

You also need to make decisions about assigning buttons on multiline telephones. There are two types of buttons: system-programmed buttons (for example, SA or ICOM buttons) to access an inside or outside line or pool of outside lines, and blank line buttons that can be programmed with system features like Do Not Disturb. For more information about buttons, see ‘Line‘ Buttons on Multiline Telephones’’ on page 3-25 of this guide and consult “System Access/Intercom Buttons” in the Feature Reference.

For feature buttons, you may choose to simply copy another extension’s programmed buttons (with some exceptions) to this new extension. Refer to

‘Copying‘ Feature and SA/ICOM Buttons’’ on page 6-28.

Before you actually begin performing the tasks listed below, read through the list and make your decisions now about these and other aspects of the new extension. Otherwise, you may have to stop in the middle of the procedure to collect the necessary information.

For additional planning information, see the “Telephones” section in Chapter 3 of

System Programming.
