Labeling
Considerations and Constraints

If a label is assigned to the extension, the MLX telephone user sees the label, the
extension number, and the posted message, for example,
STEVE B Ext 7101
OUT TO LUNCH
. If a label is not assigned to an extension and a caller dials that
extension, the telephone’s extension number is displayed (instead of the user’s
name), along with any posted messages. For example, an MLX display telephone
user sees
Ext 7103 OUT TO LUNCH
.
If labels are not assigned to operator extensions, display telephone users see
Operator
and the operator’s extension number when receiving a call from the
operator.
If labels have not been assigned to outside lines/trunks, display users see the
factory-set label,
OUTSIDE
and the line/trunk number (such as
Trk 810
), when an
outside call is made or received. With AT&T’s INFO2 ANI service, another PRI
calling party number service, or a calling number identification service and 800
GS/LS-ID module (loop-start lines only), the information displayed also identifies
the number of the caller (MLX display telephones only).
NOTE:
The availability of the caller identification information may be limited by
local-serving (caller’s) jurisdiction, availability, or central office equipment.
Programmed labels cannot be shown on nondisplay telephones or on
single-line telephones.
Labels that are programmable by a user are displayed in all capital letters.
Labels can contain capital letters, numbers, and eight types of characters:
ampersands (&), dashes (-), spaces, periods (.), commas (,), apostrophes(’), stars
(*), and pound signs (#).

Only MLX-20L telephone users can have Personal Directories. Labels for the
entries in this directory can be programmed by the system manager, using system
programming, or by the MLX-20L telephone user at the extension.
