Adding new phones
Issue 5 October 2002 95555-233-506
Physically connecting the phone
Once you have collected all the information, you are ready to physically wire the
port to the cross-connect field.
If you have an Avaya representative or on-site technician who completes the
physical connections, you need to notify them that you are ready to add the phone
to the system. To request that Avaya install the new connections, call your Avaya
representative to place an order.
If you are responsible for making the connections yourself and if you have any
questions about connecting the port to the cross-connect field, see your system
installation guide.
Now you are ready to configure the system so that it recognizes the new phone.
Before you start
To download foreign language display labels for phones, set the Display
Language field on the Station screen to
english, spanish, italian, french, or
user-defined.
For a Eurofont character display for the 2420 phone, set the Display Character Set
field on the System-Parameters Country-Options screen to
Eurofont.
For a Katakana character display for the 2420 phone, set the Display Character
Set field on the System-Parameters Country-Options screen to
Katakana.
Completing the station screens
The information that you enter on the station screen advises the system that the
phone exists and indicates which features you want to enable on the phone.
To access the station screen for the new phone:
1. Type
add station nnnn and press RETURN, where nnnn is the extension for
the new phone.
Make sure the extension conforms to your dial plan. You can also use the
add station next command to add a phone to the next available extension.
When the Station screen appears, you see the extension number and some
default field values. For example, the following screen is for a new phone
at extension 2345.
