Adding A Department And A Public-Space Phone; Setting Up The Cisco Vg224 Analog Phone Gateway For Fax - Cisco IE-3000-8TC Administration Manual

Tip

Adding a Department and a Public-Space Phone

A department is a unique-user type that is used exclusively for public-space phones; this user is reserved for
phones in cafeterias, lobbies, break rooms, and so on. A public-space phone cannot support Reach Me
Anywhere.
You do not configure passwords for departments, unlike users (Users/Phones > Users).
For information on adding a department and a public-space phones, use the following procedure.
Procedure
Step 1
Identify the departments that you need for your system.
For example, you may create a department for a phone in each bream room, for each phone in the lobby, for
a phone in the cafeteria and for fax support. To identify the number of departments that you need, identify
how many public-space phones that you have.
Step 2 Configure the department.
Because a department is a special type of user, make sure that you create a department for each public-space
phone; for example, if you have 5 public-space phones, you probably need 5 departments, one department
per phone.
Tip
Step 3
Verify that you have enough licenses installed on the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server. If necessary, obtain
and install additional licenses before you add the phones.
Step 4 Add the public-space phone(s).
In Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface, select Users/Phones > Phones.
If you have not already plugged the phone into the network, you can plug the phone in at this time.
Step 5 Make test calls with the public-space phones.
