What Is An Extension Number; What Is A Phone Line; What Is A Phone Service - D-Link VoiceCenter DVX-2000MS User Manual

Section  - Installation
In other phone systems, an extension number is often used to identify a particular phone; however, in Response Point
an extension number is associated with a user.
Because you can assign users to more than one phone, an extension number doesn't uniquely identify a phone. There
also may be several users assigned to a phone with different extension numbers. Likewise, a user, with his or her own
extension number, may be assigned to more than one phone.
For example, a phone in the warehouse may have a location user called "Floor Crew" with "Extension 200" assigned
as the primary user. However, "Rebecca Laszlo" with "Extension 101" may own the phone and be assigned as an
alternative user. Calls routed to either extension number, 200 or 101, would cause the phone to ring.
In Response Point, a phone line refers to the physical component that transmits calls to the phone system from a
traditional phone service provider. In other words, a phone line is the phone cable that you connect to the phone system
and plug into a phone jack. Your office may have multiple phone lines to which Response Point can distribute incoming
calls appropriately.
Response Point supports traditional phone service. Phone service that is provided by phone companies, mostly through
landlines, is considered traditional phone service. This type of phone service uses analog signals, which are translated
by a phone line adapter into the Microsoft
