Use this procedure to add an extension to the system.
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
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.
