This information assumes you do not have the GUI administration tool. To find more information on the GUI administration tool click here.

Each phone can have a name associated with it using up to 6 characters. The name can be programmed from ANY display phone. All programming done from a phone is done by Port numbers, not Extension numbers. The easiest way to find out the port number of a phone, is to go to that phone (if it is a Display phone), Do NOT lift the handset, press FEATURE, then press 4 on the dial pad. Write down the 2, 3, or 4-digit extension number and the 2 digit port number that follows the word TEL.

When you get into programming, this is the same programming that the technician would
use. You will have FULL ACCESS to ALL programs, so you must be cautious. Pressing the wrong sequence of buttons can instantly change how the system works.

1. Do NOT lift the handset or press the Speaker button.
2. Press FEATURE
3. Press # 0 * on the dial pad
4. Press 8974 on the dial pad
5. Display will read PROGRAM MODE.
There are 8, 16, or 32 ROUND buttons above the dial pad. These are called LINE KEYS. Upper left is Line Key 1, Lower right is Line Key 8, 16, or 32. If you know the port numbers, proceed to step 8. If you want to find out the port number and extension number (program 4-10):
6. Press Line Key 4
7. Press 10 on the dial pad.
The far left 2 digits are the PORT NUMBER. The far right number (2, 3, or 4 digits) is the extension number. (The 10 in the middle reminds you that you’re in program 10). Every time you press the CONF button, the display will show you the next port number with its extension number. By watching for the Extension number you want (may not be in numerical order), the left side will show you the Port number, write it down. If a receptionist has a second device by their phone called a DSS, you will not see that port number. If you want to skip ahead, or go back to a port number (that you passed up), you will notice that there is a number in the display that is flashing. To move to the left, press the * button, repeatedly if necessary. To move to the right, press the # button, repeatedly if necessary. If the flashing number is on the far left, you can enter a 2 digit port number, and it will show you the extension number. To go to the program for changing names: (If you were in program 4-10, press the ANSWER button TWICE) With the display showing PROGRAM MODE,
8. Press Line Key 4
9. Press 18
The display shows Port 01, Program 18, (Up to 6 characters for name). Press CONF repeatedly to get to the port you want. Use the dial pad to enter the characters.
When you press a number on the dial pad, Example 3, the first time you press 3, you get a capital D, the next time you get an E, F, d, e, f, 3. When you press another button, it will shift to the next space. If you need to use the same key again, press the # key to shift to the next space. You can use spaces by leaving it blank. Press Hold to delete
10. When you finish each name, you must press the TRANSFER button to write it. CAUTION: You will notice that it puts you into the next program ~ 19. If you’re done, press SPEAKER to exit program mode, or dial 18 to go back to name programming. Like before, you can press CONF to go to another port, or press the * button repeatedly to enter a port number….
11. Press SPEAKER at ANYTIME to exit programming.
