group or a business.

The following paths indicate where to set up a CAP in Element Manager and through Telset

Administration:

• Element Manager: Configuration > Telephony > Global Settings > CAP Assignment

• Telset interface: **CONFIG > System prgrming > CAP/KIM assignment

Click one of the following links to connect with the type of information you want to view:

CAPs become enhanced CAPs (eCAPs) when you identify the telephone DN under the CAP/KIM

assignment. You can configure a maximum of 12 CAPs as eCAPs on the system.

All CAPs can be programmed with quick dial numbers that allow the person at this station to

monitor and answer call traffic into the group. If you program the CAP to be an eCAP, lines, hunt

group appearances, and line appearances can also be moved to the module.
