Installing an Adjunct 211
One common use for an adjunct is to provide station appearances for
every existing extension at the receptionist’s telephone (the Attendant
Console). The receptionist can see at a glance the status of each
extension — in use or available, and then quickly transfer incoming calls
to an extension.
However, you can use an adjunct with any Business Telephone, not just
the receptionist’s telephone, to provide expanded button mappings. Each
adjunct must be associated with a single Business Telephone. Because
telephones and adjuncts are network devices, the adjunct and its
associated telephone do not need to be connected directly to each other.
As long as they are connected to the same LAN you can associate a
telephone with an adjunct.
Notes on the Adjunct
■
An adjunct does not have a hub port, which means that if you
connect it to a Business Telephone through the telephone’s hub port,
you cannot connect a computer to the telephone. If you need to
connect a computer to the LAN where you are using a Business
Telephone and an adjunct, you must provide an extra LAN connection.
■
The adjunct does not use IP communications. It must be located on
the same LAN segment/subnet as its associated telephone.
Auto Discovering an
Adjunct
When you enable the Auto Discover Adjuncts option (see “Using Auto
Discovery for Initial System Configuration” on page 164), the Auto
Discovery process finds and configures any installed adjuncts. Auto
Discovering an adjunct results in the following default configuration:
■
The adjunct becomes associated with the telephone with the lowest
extension number in the system.
■
All existing extensions, except for the associated telephone, are
mapped to adjunct Access buttons. For example, if the extensions run
from 100 to 200, the adjunct is associated with extension 100, the
first 50 (extensions 101 through 150) are mapped to the “A” range of
adjunct Access buttons, and the rest of the extensions (151 through
200) are mapped to the “B” range. Each button shows the status of
the line and when pressed, dials the extension.
■
The four Feature buttons along the bottom of the adjunct map to
(from left to right) Transfer, Transfer to Voice Mail, Park, and Hold.
