Alias Station
This screen allows you to configure the system so that you can administer new phone types that are not
supported by your system software. This screen maps new telephone models to a supported telephone
model. This mapping does not guarantee compatibility, but allows nonsupported models to be
administered and tracked by their own names.
Some administrators also use this screen to “name” non-telephone devices. For example, you know that
you can add a modem to your system by simply administering the extension as the standard analog type
2500. But, if you listed your stations, how would you know which extensions are modems? Instead, you
could use the Alias screen to create a ‘modem’ alias to type 2500 and enter modem in the
Type
field for
every modem you add to your system. For more information, see
Adding a Fax or Modem
on page 95.
Tip:
When you upgrade a system that uses an alias set type to a new release, the system
determines if the aliased type is supported in the new release (is now a native set type).
When you review the Alias Station screen, you may see alias types that have become
native. If the type is now native, the last character of the aliased set type becomes a “#.”
