For this example, let us assume that we have already defined an alias for ‘fax’ as a
2500 and that we now want to add a fax machine to extension 4444.
To add a fax machine as extension 444, complete the following steps:
1. Type
add station 4444 and press RETURN.
2. In the Type field, type
fax.
3. In the Port field, type the port address.
4. In the Name field, type a name to associate with this fax.
5. Move to the Data Restriction field and type
y.
Entering y in this field prevents calls to and from this extension from being
interrupted by tone signals. This is important for fax machines and modems
as these signals can disrupt transmissions of data.
6. In the Distinctive Audible Alert field, type
n.
This eliminates the distinct 2-burst ring for external calls, which often
interferes with the auto-answer function on fax machines or modems.
7. Press
ENTER to save your changes.
Adding an IP Telephone
The 4600-series IP Telephones are physical sets that connect to the MultiVantage
system via TCP/IP.
!
CAUTION:
An Avaya IP endpoint can dial emergency calls (for example, 911 calls in the
U.S.). It only reaches the local emergency service in the Public Safety
Answering Point area where the telephone system has local trunks. Please
be advised that an Avaya IP endpoint cannot dial to and connect with local
emergency service when dialing from remote locations that do not have local
trunks. You should not use an Avaya IP endpoint to dial emergency numbers
for emergency services when dialing from remote locations. Avaya Inc. is not
responsible or liable for any damages resulting from misplaced emergency
calls made from an Avaya endpoint. Your use of this product indicates that
you have read this advisory and agree to use an alternative telephone to dial
all emergency calls from remote locations.
