Using Actr To Move Phones - Avaya Communication Manager Administrator's Manual

Managing Telephones
For example, to swap phones for extension 4567 (port 01C0505) and extension 4575 (port
01C0516), complete the following steps:
1. Type change station 4567 and press Enter.
2. Record the current port address (01C0505) and type x in the Port field.
3. Press Enter to save your changes.
4. Type change station 4575 and press Enter.
5. Record the current port address (01C0516).
6. Type 01C0505 in the Port field.
7. Update the Room and Jack fields.
8. Press Enter to save your changes.
9. Type change station 4567 again and press Enter.
10. Type 01C0516 in the Port field.
This is the port that used to be assigned to extension 4575.
11. Update the Room and Jack fields.
12. Press Enter to save your changes.
13. Physically unplug the phones and move them to their new locations.
When you swap phones, the system keeps the old button assignments. If you are swapping to a
telephone with softkeys, the telephone could have duplicate button assignments, because
softkeys have default assignments. You may want to check your button assignments and
modify them as necessary.

Using ACTR to Move Phones

Automatic Customer Telephone Rearrangement (ACTR) allows a telephone to be unplugged
from one location and moved to a new location without additional administration in Avaya
Communication Manager. Communication Manager automatically associates the extension to
the new port. ACTR works with 6400 Serialized phones and with the 2420/2410 phones. The
6400 Serialized telephone is stamped with the word "Serialized" on the faceplate for easy
identification. The 6400 Serialized telephone memory electronically stores its own part ID
(comcode) and serial number, as does the 2420/2410 telephone. ACTR uses the stored
information and associates the telephone with new port when the telephone is moved.
ACTR is an enhancement to Terminal Translation Initialization (TTI), Personal Station Access
(PSA), Customer Telephone Activation (CTA). ACTR makes it easy to identify and move
phones.
