Programming Secondary Extension Buttons - Inter-Tel 8600 User Manual

P
ROGRAMMING
With the Secondary Extension Appearances feature, you can program various buttons
on your endpoint to indicate the call activity at a different extension (primary exten-
sion). In addition to being able to see when a call is ringing, answered, or on hold,
you can use your secondary extension button to answer a call that is ringing at the pri-
mary extension. Your endpoint may also be programmed to ring automatically when a
given number of calls are waiting at the primary extension (ask your system adminis-
trator).
There are two possible types of secondary extension buttons: programmable and non-
programmable. If you have a non-programmable secondary extension button, only the
system administrator can change the associated extension. If you have a programma-
ble button, you can change the extension, as described below.
NOTE:
You can only assign the extension for a secondary extension button. You can-
not create or change the secondary extension button (e.g., make it a feature button).
To assign a primary extension to a secondary extension button (if enabled):

extension number.
