Preliminary
If you have multiple contacts with the same company phone number but different
extensions, first set up a “company” contact with no extension, and then set up a
contact for each person at that company, including their extension.
For example:
Name
Phone Number
Extension
Acme Rental
212-555-1000
Jane Doe
212-555-1000
101
John Smith
212-555-1000
105
Extensions within a local PBX System
To mark a phone number's extension as 'local' (within the PBX) when
Tel-Lynx
is
used with a
PBX
(see
Using
Tel-Lynx
with a PBX
), precede the extension
number with a '
+
'. A local extension will be used to call the contact when Dialing-
By-Name on the PBX system. In other words, the call will stay internal to the
PBX.
When setting a phone number's extension, if a '
+
'
is entered alone without an
extension number, the last digits of the phone number will be used as the local
extension. This is useful for PBXes with direct inward dialing, where each
extension has a unique outside phone number, and the last (usually four) digits
of the phone number are also the local extension number on the PBX.
Managing Tel-Lynx's Phone Book
From the
Manage
Tel-Lynx
's Phone Book
menu, you can move contacts from the
new call list to the phone book, add new phone book contacts, edit existing
contacts, call or text contacts, remove contacts, add and remove speed dial
assignments, import contacts from your mobile phones, and add or change voice
tags.
Note:
When accessing contacts, they are always presented in chronological
order, beginning with the most recent call made or received.
Note:
Tel-Lynx
handles "
Business
" contacts differently from non-business
contacts. A
business
contact should have its
name
be the name of the
business
and should be assigned a "
Business
" number. A contact for a
person
who works in a business should have its
name
be the name of the
person
and
should be assigned a "
Work
" number.
Importing Contacts from Mobile Phones
(TLC/TLC Plus only)
With
TLC
and
TLC Plus
, you can import contacts to
Tel-Lynx
's phone book from
both your mobile phones. During import, only contacts with at least one valid
(callable) phone number are added to
Tel-Lynx
's phone book. If you hang up
during import, or if you receive a call on the mobile phone, the import will be
terminated. Importing will continue from where you left off the next time you
