3. Select the Extension tab.
Activate extension
The Activate Extension area allows you to set the name, phone number, hunt group, language,
and same line connect feature for each remote extension.
1. Select the Activate Extension checkbox.
2. Enter the user’s First name and Last name. The names appear within the configuration
windows. The Last name is used with the dial-by-name directory.
3. Enter the Remote phone number. Enter the number as you would normally dial it (i.e.
without the hunt group number). You can enter digits 0–9, space, dash, comma, # and *. A
comma pauses dialing for two seconds.
An administrator can change the phone number by phone. Enter command mode by either
pressing # on an analog extension phone, or *55# on a TalkSwitch IP phone (note: other
brands may use *55 Send or *55 Dial). Dial the system password + #, the remote extension
number, and then 8 + the new phone number + #.
4. Select the hunt group in the Connect using list. The TalkSwitch unit will use a line from this
hunt group to connect with the remote extension. We recommend the default Hunt group 9
(or Hunt Group 0 in certain regions) unless you have set up a different hunt group for
calling remote extensions.
An administrator can change the hunt group by phone. Enter command mode by either
pressing # on an analog extension phone, or *55# on a TalkSwitch IP phone (note: other
brands may use *55 Send or *55 Dial). Dial the system password + #, the remote extension
number, and then 9 + the new hunt group + #.
5. Select the language heard by the user of the extension in the System prompt language for
this extension.
