14. Type save translations and press Enter to save your changes.
Note that you do not need to delete the extension from coverage paths. The system
automatically adjusts coverage paths to eliminate the extension.
Now you can unplug the set from the jack and store it for future use. You do not need to
disconnect the wiring at the cross-connect field. The extension and port address remain
available for assignment at a later date.
Once you successfully remove a set, that set is permanently erased from system memory. If
you want to reactivate the set, you have to add it again as though it were a new telephone.

Adding a Fax or Modem

Connecting a fax machine or modem to your system is similar to adding a telephone, with a few
important exceptions. If you have not added a telephone, you may want to read
Telephones on page 79.
Because the system does recognize the concept of "fax" or "modem," you need to administer
these items as basic analog stations. You can merely use the supported station type 2500
(analog, single line).
Alternatively, you can create aliases to the 2500 for fax machines and modems. If you want to
be able to create reports that indicate which stations are faxes or modem, you should create
aliases for these items. For more information about aliasing, see
For this example, let us assume that we have already defined an alias for 'fax' as a 2500 and
that we now want to add a fax machine to extension 4444.
To add a fax machine as extension 444, complete the following steps:
1. Type add station 4444 and press Enter.
2. In the Type field, type fax.
