You may also find it handy to set up multiple phones for testing applications and features before you
provide them to users. You may want to have a phone that mimics each type of user phone in your
organization. For example, if you have four basic phone templates, one for executives, one for marketing,
one for technicians, and one for other employees, you may want to have examples of each of these
phones so you can test new features or options. Once you are satisfied that a change works on the test
phone, you can make the change for all the users in that group.
Upgrading Phones
If you want to change phone types for a user and do not need to change locations, you can just access the
station screen for that extension and enter the new model number.
Tip:
This method can be used only if the new phone type matches the existing port type (such
as digital phone with a digital port).
For example, if a user at extension 4556 currently has a 7410+ phone and you want to replace it with a
new 8411D phone:
1
Type change station 4556 and press
ENTER
.
The Station screen for 4556 appears.
2
Overwrite
7410+
with 8411D in the
Type
field.
Now you can access the functions and feature buttons that correspond to an 8411D phone.
Swapping Phones
You will often find that you need to move or swap phones. For example, employees moving from one
office to another may want to bring their phones. In this case, you can use X ports to easily swap the
phones.
In general, to swap one phone (phone A) with another phone (B), you change phone A’s port assignment
to
x
, change phone B’s port assignment to A’s old port, and, finally, change the
x
for phone A to B’s old
port. Note that these swapping instructions work only if the two phones are the same type (both digital or
both analog, etc.).
For example, to swap phones for extension 4567 (port 01C0505) and extension 4575 (port 01C0516),
complete the following steps:
1
Type change station 4567 and press
ENTER
.
2
Record the current port address (
01C0505
) and type
x
in the Port field.
3
Press
ENTER
to save your changes.
4
Type change station 4575 and press
ENTER
.
5
Record the current port address (
01C0516
).
6
Type 01C0505 in the Port field.
7
Update the
Room
and
Jack
fields.
