Using Templates to Add Telephones

A quick way to add phones is to copy the information from an existing telephone and modify it
for each new telephone. For example, you can configure one telephone as a template for an
entire work group. Then, you merely duplicate the template station screen to add all the other
extensions in the group.
Note that only phones of the same model can be duplicated. The duplicate command copies all
the feature settings from the template telephone to the new telephones.
To duplicate an existing telephone:
1. Type display station nnnn, where nnnn is the extension of the station screen you
want to duplicate to use as a template. Press Enter. Verify that this extension is the one you
want to duplicate.
2. Press Cancel to return to the command prompt.
3. Type duplicate station nnnn, where nnnn is the extension you want to duplicate.
Press Enter.
The system displays a blank duplicate Station screen.
