Function 34: Flexible number assignment
This function lets the Installer reassign numbers outside of the numbering template. Extensions, guest mailboxes,
and departments can have their numbers exchanged with each other, in any combination (e.g., you can
exchange extension 100 with guest mailbox 300, or swap the number of department 280 with that of guest
mailbox 300).
Important: Mailbox greetings, feature keys, and Personal Dex entries won’t be changed (i.e., the programming won’t
move with a number’s extension/mailbox).
To complete this operation, the system must be idle.
1. Enter Installer programming, and then enter Function 34.
2. Enter the number you wish to reassign, and press #.

3. Enter the second number. (the first number now appears in the top line), and press #.

NUM: 300
4. Both extensions now appear in the display. Confirm the reassignment by pressing #.

Dial plan range reassignment
Note: This part of Function 34 is available only through ESI System Programmer.
After a dial plan has been selected in Function 169 (page D.9), the Installer can reassign one or more ranges of
numbers of extensions and guest mailboxes by using Function 34 in ESI System Programmer. This function
can be used either at system installation or thereafter. Before applying any changes, you must make sure the
system is completely idle. This function can be used to change the numbers of all extensions or guest
mailboxes, or a subset of them. However, both ranges — the numbers to be changed and the new numbers
— must be contiguous.
Example: The Installer selects three-digit dial plan 200, which includes extensions in the default range 200–239.
The customer wants extensions 230–239 to have new numbers: 100–104 and 400–404. Since the
requested new numbers are two different ranges, the Installer must use this function twice . . .
1. Numbers to change: 230–234. • New numbers: 100–104.
2. Numbers to change: 235–239. • New numbers: 400–404.
Only the extension/mailbox number will be changed with this function. The following parameters also will be
changed if the extensions or mailboxes being changed are assigned in these functions:
• Ring assignments and private line (Function 21)
• Extension call-forward busy/no answer (Function 31)
• Extension features (Function 32)
• Department features (Function 33)
• Programmable feature keys on other station
(Function 35 and user programming function 2)
• Auto attendant GoTo extension/mailbox branches
(Function 41)
• Guest mailbox features (Function 53)
• Group mailbox members (Function 54)
• Recorded directory names (Function 62)
Warning: This function can take up to 30 minutes to complete, depending on the number of stations reassigned.
