Naming a telephone or a line
You can assign names to identify external lines, target lines, and telephones
assigned to specific people. During a call, the name (if programmed) is
shown on the telephone display instead of the external line number or
internal telephone number of the caller. Step-by-step instructions for
adding or changing the name of a telephone or a line are in ‘‘Changing the
name of a telephone’’ on page 34.
Telephone names and line names can contain both letters and numbers, but
cannot be longer than seven characters. You cannot use the # and *
symbols.
Moving telephones
If automatic telephone relocation is enabled in programming by your
installer or customer service representative, you can move your telephone
from one system jack to another without losing any of custom
programming.
Tip - You can give the same name to two or more
telephones, or to a telephone and a line in your system.
To avoid confusion, avoid such duplication. Use initials,
abbreviations, or even nicknames to give each
telephone a unique name.
If automatic telephone relocation is turned on, the name
and internal number of a telephone are saved if the
telephone is moved within your system.
