Increasing Extension Length
You can increase the length of the your phone extension digits. Due to the scope of this
change, you are prompted to stop all ShoreWare voice services as well as restart the
ShoreGear voice switches following the changes.
You can increase the extension length from:
• 3 to 4 digits
• 3 to 5 digits
• 4 to 5 digits
This is done by pre-pending one or two digits to all existing extensions, mailboxes,
menus, and distribution lists.
First Menu Number
Last Menu Number
These parameters define the lower and upper
boundaries, respectively, for the numbers reserved
for menu numbers. These values must be
consistent with digit reservations for extensions.
The auto-attendant, in general, has an extension
number defined on the System Extensions edit
page. Menu numbers define the specific menu
number on the system, since the system supports a
total of 256 menus. See “Adding and Editing an
Auto-Attendant Menu” on page 12-3 also.
