Using Auto Discover
for an Attendant
Console
When you use the Auto Discover feature to configure an Attendant
Console, the NBX system associates the Attendant Console with a
telephone based on the these factors:
■
If one or more Attendant Consoles are already configured in the
system, the Auto Discover process finds all 3Com Telephones that
currently have an associated Attendant Console and associates the
new Attendant Console with the telephone that has the lowest
extension number. For example, if the existing Attendant Console is
associated with extension 1000, the new Attendant Console will also
be associated with extension 1000.
