4. Note the first column on the left of this menu; this is the port number for every directory number in the sys-
tem. You can swap directory numbers on the port list. For example, suppose the employee at port 011,
extension 111 has to work out of another office for the day—and the other office contains port 004, exten-
sion 104. Using the extension swapping features, you can switch the two extension numbers for the day
without having to re-program both ports. Extension 111 would then ring at port 004 (in the second office)
while extension 104 would ring at port 011 (in the first office). You could keep the port assignments this
way indefinitely, or you could switch it back the following morning.
5. Locate the directory number you want to move to another port. You may need to press Page Up or Page
Down to find the extension; this menu contains five pages.
6. Press Enter . The system prompts you to enter the directory number associated with the port where you want
this extension to go.
7. Key in the directory number of the new position and press Enter . The system swaps the previous directory
number with the new directory number and reassigns the directory number to the other port. Note : The
directory number must be a valid extension directory number as set in System Applications – Numbering
Plan 2 menu.
8. In the same manner, continue swapping extension directory numbers as required. .
9. When you are done, press Esc to return to the Database Programming screen. The system prompts: “Exit
This Feature?”; press Y for yes.
10. The system prompts “Save Current Setting?” Press Y to save your changes.
11. The system then prompts “File Exists, Override?” Press Y to continue with the save operation.
12. Press Esc to return to the Database Programming menu.
13. When you have finished all programming changes, perform a Send operation to copy your new database to
the DX-80 switch system memory. For more details, see Section 2.1.4.4, F4 – Send .
