Customizing Extensions
In addition to line assignments, the following procedures can be used to
customize an extension:

Display Language (#303) to specify the language (English, French, or
Spanish) for messages that appear on a system display phone.
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) to prevent other extensions with
the same line from joining a call at the extension. This feature is also
useful for extensions connected to a modem, fax, or any device whose
function can be disrupted by someone trying to join it.
Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to prevent the extension from
making an outside call until a required account code is entered. You can
also use Forced Account Code List (#409) to create a list of valid
account codes.
Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to prevent the extension from making
certain types of outgoing calls (on all system lines).
Disallowed List Assignments (#405) to assign one or more Disallowed
Phone Number Lists to the extension. Use Disallowed Phone Number
Lists (#404) to create the lists of outside numbers that extensions cannot
dial.
Allowed List Assignments (#408) to assign one or more Allowed Phone
Number Lists to the extension. Use Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407)
to create the lists of outside numbers that otherwise-restricted extensions
can dial.
Pickup Group Extensions (#501), Calling Group Extensions (#502),
Night Service Group Extensions (#504), and Hunt Group Extensions
(#505) to place the extension in any of these groups. See “Setting Up
Groups of Extensions” later in this chapter for more information.
Fax Machine Extensions (#601), Doorphone Extension (#604 and
#605), Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606), or AA Extensions (#607) to
identify the extension as one of these equipment types.
“Setting Up Auxiliary Equipment” later in this chapter provides an overview of
the procedures you use for setting up devices, such as hotline phones, voice
messaging systems, and call reporting devices. Also, Chapter 4 provides
detailed information and example applications for auxiliary equipment.
Copy Settings
The recommended way to set up your system is to program one extension for
each type of phone in the system, then use Copy Settings (#399) to program
other phones of the same type. For example, you can program one MLS-12D
phone and then copy its settings to any other extensions that have MLS-12D or
MLS-12 phones. See “Copy Settings” in Chapter 5 for a list of the programmed
settings that are copied.
