The Extension Prefix Warning message lists each site in your system. Next to the list of sites you will
find a blank field that requires you to enter the desired extension prefix.
System extensions are not associated with a hard port in the system. They are always global and will
have a user number and a null extension prefix. Therefore, these system extensions are not affected
by changes made to the extension prefix in the Edit Dialing Plan window. Only dialed numbers, such
as user extensions, menus, workgroups, and distribution lists, are affected by changes to the
extension prefix.

Adding Sites
You can add the sites via ShoreTel Director before configuring your dialing plan, or you can configure
your dialing plan and then add sites at a later time. To add a site via Director, follow the procedure
below:
1. Launch ShoreTel Director and enter the user ID and password.
2. Click the Administration link to expand the list if it has not already been expanded.
3. Click the Sites link.
4. Click Add a new site in the drop-down menu and select the country where the site will be added.
Note
This prefix will be applied to every dialable number at that particular site, so if the site is an existing
one, they will see their phone numbers converted to the new prefix.
