System Renumbering
In Release 1.1 and later systems, the system is not forced idle when renumbering
extensions, ARS access code, calling groups, Idle Line access code, LDN, paging
groups, park zones, pools, and remote access code. However, in Release 1.1 and
later systems, when you are renumbering a line/trunk, the line is forced idle during
the renumbering process.
In Release 1.0 systems, when the system manager uses single renumbering to
assign a specified extension number, the system is forced idle during the
renumbering process.
Block Renumbering
Block renumbering can be used only when the extension numbers you are
changing from are sequential and the extension numbers you are changing to are
sequential. Block renumbering can be used to assign extension numbers to a
group of extensions, adjuncts, or lines.
When you are renumbering extensions using block renumbering, the system is
forced idle during the process.
DSS Renumbering
System renumbering is used to assign the beginning extension number in a page .
A page is the range of extension numbers that is assigned to a DSS. A single DSS
can have three pages of extension numbers, with 50 extension numbers for each
page, for a total of 150 extension numbers. When two DSSs are connected, each
page's capacity is increased to 100 extension numbers. The two connected DSSs
can have three pages of extension numbers, for a total of 300 extension numbers.
Page buttons work as Shift keys on a keyboard. When an operator presses a
Page button, he or she selects a page of the DSS, which corresponds to a range
of 50 (for a single DSS) or 100 (for two connected DSSs) extension numbers. The
factory settings for Page buttons are: the Page 1 button begins with Extension 0,
the Page 2 button begins with 50, and the Page 3 button begins with 100.
If two DSSs are attached, the factory setting must be changed so that the
difference between extensions assigned to the range is at least 100. For example,
assign the Page 1 button to begin with Extension 10, the Page 2 button to begin
with Extension 110, and the Page 3 button to begin with Extension 210. Page
button assignments should be sequential.
The beginning extension number associated with each Page button is the same
for all DSSs and cannot be programmed differently for individual operator
positions.
Each Page button can be programmed to begin with any extension number in the
range of 0 through 9950 that is a multiple of 50. However, to expedite call
handling, the assignments should be sequential. The range starting with the
lowest extension number should be assigned to Page 1, the range starting with
the next higher extension number should be assigned to Page 2, and the range
