Changing the Extension Number

The extension number assigned to a phone may be changed using Phone
Configurator. To change the extension number, dial 588 and follow the instructions.
NOTE: The 588 access code is the default for the system and your access
code may be different. Check with the system administrator for the correct
access code if the default code does not work.

Unassigning the Extension Number

You can unassign your number from your phone by dialing 589, entering your
complete phone number, and phone password.
NOTE: The 589 access code is the default for the system and your access
code may be different. Check with the system administrator for the correct
access code if the default code does not work.

Priority Call

The Priority Call feature allows you to define numbers that will ring at your
telephone with a special ring that tells you this is an important call. To use this
feature, you manage a list of telephone numbers (internal or external) that cause
the priority ring to sound when a call with that caller ID appears at your telephone.
Priority Call is managed through a menu of commands activated by pressing digits
on the keypad. The commands are:
•
•
•
•
The display area on your telephone will show the options for each menu level. For
example, if you press 4 to delete a number, the display will show:
"1=Del Num, 2=List, 3=Del All, *=Menu".

Enabling/Disabling Priority Call

The VoIP system allows you to turn the Priority Call feature on and off (i.e., set the
feature not to use the priority ring). Disabling (turning off) the feature does not
delete your list of callers assigned to receive the priority ring.
