Chapter 64 Directory Number Configuration
Configuring a Directory Number
Configuring a Directory Number
Follow these instructions to add or update a directory number (DN). You can configure the call forward,
call pickup, and MLPP phone features while you are adding the directory number.
Tip You can assign patterns to directory numbers; for example, 352XX. To avoid user confusion when you
assign a pattern to a directory number, add text or digits to the DN configuration fields, Line Text Label,
Display (Internal Caller ID), and External Phone Number Mask. (These fields display for a directory
number only after you add the directory number and you associate the directory number with a phone.)
For example, add the user name to the line text label and internal caller ID, but add the outside line
number to the external number mask, so when the calling information displays, it says John Chan, not
352XX.
For information on how to configure Private Line Automatic Ringdown (PLAR), see the “Configuring
Private Line Automatic Ringdown (PLAR)” section on page 64-27.
