11. Type remove station 1234 and press RETURN.
The system displays the station screen for this phone so you can verify that
you are removing the correct phone.
Tip:
Be sure to record the port assignment for this jack in case you want to
use it again later.
12. If this is the correct phone, press
ENTER.
If the system responds with an error message, the phone is busy or still
belongs to a group. Press
CANCEL to stop the request, correct the problem,
and enter
remove station 1234 again.
13. Remove the extension from voice mail service if the extension has a voice
mailbox.
14. Type
save translations and press RETURN to save your changes.
Note that you do not need to delete the extension from coverage paths. The system
automatically adjusts coverage paths to eliminate the extension.
Now you can unplug the set from the jack and store it for future use. You do not
need to disconnect the wiring at the cross-connect field. The extension and port
address remain available for assignment at a later date.
Once you successfully remove a set, that set is permanently erased from system
memory. If you want to reactivate the set, you have to add it again as though it
were a new phone.
Adding a fax or modem
Connecting a fax machine or modem to your system is similar to adding a phone,
with a few important exceptions. If you have not added a phone, you may want to
read ‘‘Adding new phones’’ on page 93.
Because the system does recognize the concept of “fax” or “modem,” you need to
administer these items as basic analog stations. You can merely use the supported
station type 2500 (analog, single line).
Alternatively, you can create aliases to the 2500 for fax machines and modems. If
you want to be able to create reports that indicate which stations are faxes or
modem, you should create aliases for these items. For more information about
aliasing, see ‘‘Using an alias’’ on page 98.
