How to make a Direct line - DID - appear on another phone.

Sep 07, 2006 12 Replies

Whenever my direct line - DID - rings, I'd like to have it appear on one of the keys of a collegue's phone. I can do it internally with our respective extensions, but I don't know how to program it for receiving a call from outside. Thanks.



If this is a meridian 1, simply program the key on his set the same as the key on your set. IE:

On your set the DID is:

KEY 0 SCR 9999

On his set you would program:

KEY 13 SCR 9999

The switch will then respond with MARP ON TN .

If this is a norstar, then I'll need to let someone else respond, since I don't know norstar.

If N* you need to know the target line and assign it or assign your station on his phone as answer DN.

Does your DID ring on its own key? If so do feature *0 press that key you will see the target line number then go into line access and assign that line number to appear and ring on his phone.

I also just noticed that my line that I want to add to my collegue's station appears as:

LXXX:Pvt>MyName

Scan Find

Instead of:

LXXX:Unassigned

Scan Find Change

thats your problem change your line from private to public and you can add it to the other phone.

Go into programming lines your line number and step through the settings.

When I step through the settings using a public target line I have the option to change it to a private one (Line Type: PUBLIC CHANGE ) I don't seem to have that option from a private line. I only have the option of changing the extension the target line is private to (Private To: XXX

CANCL CHANGE)

Thanks.

Glad to help instead of stepping people through things I usually point them in the right direction and hope they can go from there. That way they will probably remember for next time.
