Naming a telephone or a line
You can assign names to identify external lines, target lines,
and your co-workers’ telephones. 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 20.
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 Norstar jack to another without
losing any of its 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.
You may be required by law to report any telephone moves
to your local telecommunications carrier or 911 service
provider. For further details, consult your local carrier, your
local 911 service provider, and/or your local
telecommunications service provider.
