Extension Name Display

Extension Name Display
5
You can assign a name to an extension: up to 20 characters long on PARTNER telephones, up to
12 characters long on MLS telephones. Then, when that extension is used to make an intercom,
group, or transferred call, the name appears on the system display telephone receiving the call.
Similarly, users receiving a transfer return call see the name of the person assigned to the
extension that did not answer the transferred call.
Table 5-1 shows the valid character entries for
Extension Name Display.

■
You can program a name through Centralized Telephone Programming for any extension,
regardless of the telephone type on that extension. If a user wants to program his or her own
extension name, he or she must have a system display telephone at that extension.
■
Only extension numbers—not names—are printed on SMDR reports.
■
Program Extension Name Display when you first enter Centralized Telephone Programming,
before programming any other features. If you want to program both Extension Name
Display and Automatic Line Selection (which also must be programmed when you first
enter Centralized Telephone Programming), first program Automatic Line Selection. Then
exit and re-enter Centralized Telephone Programming to program Extension Name Display.
