Using an alias
Not every phone model or device has a unique station screen in the system. You
might have to use an available model as an “alias” for another. If you need to enter
a phone type that the system does not recognize or support, use an alias. Defining
aliases is also a useful method to identify items that act as analog stations on the
switch, such as a fax machine, a modem, or other analog device.
If you purchase a phone model that is newer than your system, you can alias this
phone to an available model type that best matches the features of your new
phone. Refer to your phone’s manual to determine which alias to use. If your
manual does not have this information, you can contact the DEFINITY helpline
for an appropriate alias.
For example, let’s create two aliases: one to add a new 6220 phone to a
DEFINITY ECS running R7 software and one to add modems to our system.
1. Refer to your new phone’s manual to find the correct alias.
In our example, we find that the 6220 should be administered on a R7 or
earlier system as a 2500 phone.
2. Type
change alias station and press RETURN.
The Alias Station screen appears.
