230 Chapter 20 Moving and replacing telephones

Moving telephones

You can move an Business Communications Manager digital telephone to a new location within
the system without losing its programmed settings if the telephone has been enabled with
Set relocation in system programming under Feature programming. When you enable Set
relocation (automatic telephone relocation), the internal numbers, autodial settings, and personal
speed dial codes remain with the telephone when you disconnect the telephone.
If you connect a different telephone to the jack before you reconnect the moved telephone, the new
telephone takes the programmed settings. The Business Communications Manager system can no
longer identify the old telephone.
After you plug a moved set into a new jack, the Business Communications Manager system can
take 45 seconds to identify the telephone. Programming relocation takes three minutes to
complete. Wait for this to occur before you change any settings for the telephone in the system.
Warning: If you disconnect a relocated telephone before the relocation programming is
complete, the telephone can lose the programmed settings.
If
Note: Automatic telephone relocation is disabled by default.
For IP telephones to retain features, the Keep DN Alive setting for the telephone programming
must be set to Yes in system programming on the Capabilities screen in the DN record for the
telephone.
