Setting up Extensions
194 AltiWare OE System Installation & Administration Manual
A valid password cannot be the same as its extension number and must
be 4–8 digits (numbers or letters A–Z) in length. Basic password
patterns, such as repeated digits (1111), consecutive digit strings
(1234), or digits that match the extension (Ext. 101 using 1012, 9101,
10101, etc.) are not allowed. The letters map to numbers (on a phone,
for example) as follows:
• DID Number—each extension can be assigned a DID number. This
number does not have a fixed length, but the length must be long
enough (range 2–16) for the system to match the DID incoming call.
It is recommended to use the full 10 digit DID number, not just the
last few digits. This full number guarantees the system can send the
correct number as the Caller ID on PRI lines. With fewer digits, the
system sends the trunk’s configured phone number as the Caller ID. If
the trunk number is not configured, the system main number is sent.
• Tenant—a drop-down list of Tenant IDs (groups) to which the
extension can be assigned. See “Using a Tenant Table” on page 134 for
more information on Tenants.
Note:
If an extension is assigned to N/A in the Tenant drop-down
list, the extension is able to access all trunks, even though the
trunks have been assigned to tenants.
• Enable Dial-By-Name Service—select this box to allow callers to
search the extension list by employee name for this extension.
Note: The Tenant and Enable Dial-by-Name Service settings can
be applied to multiple extensions by using Apply To…, as
described in “Apply or Apply To…?” on page 190.
