System Renumbering
When you are renumbering extensions using block renumbering, the system is
forced idle during the process.
DSS Renumbering
4
0
System renumbering is used to assign the beginning extension number in a
page
.
A page is the range of extension numbers that is assigned to a DSS. A single DSS
can have three pages of extension numbers, with 50 extension numbers for each
page, for a total of 150 extension numbers. When two DSSs are connected, each
page’s capacity is increased to 100 extension numbers. The two connected DSSs
can have three pages of extension numbers, for a total of 300 extension numbers.
Page buttons work as Shift keys on a keyboard do. When an operator presses a
Page button, he or she selects a page of the DSS, which corresponds to a range
of 50 (for a single DSS) or 100 (for two connected DSSs) extension numbers. The
factory settings for Page buttons are: the Page 1 button begins with Extension 0,
the Page 2 button begins with 50, and the Page 3 button begins with 100.
If 2 DSSs are attached, the factory setting
must
be changed so that the difference
between extensions assigned to the range is at least 100. For example, assign
the Page 1 button to begin with Extension 10, the Page 2 button to begin with
Extension 110, and the Page 3 button to begin with Extension 210. Page button
assignments should be sequential.
The beginning extension number associated with each Page button is the same
for all DSSs and cannot be programmed differently for individual operator
positions.
Each Page button can be programmed to begin with any extension number in the
range of 0 through 9950 that is a multiple of 50. However, to expedite call
handling, the assignments should be sequential. The range starting with the
lowest extension number should be assigned to Page 1, the range starting with
the next higher extension number should be assigned to Page 2, and the range
starting with the highest extension number should be assigned to Page 3. You
cannot program individual buttons on a DSS.
Operator park zones must be included in the extension number range specified
for one of the Page buttons.
Each of the 50 DSS buttons corresponds to one of three extension numbers. The
specific extension number is determined by the Page button that the system
operator presses. For example, if the first extension number for the Page 1 button
is programmed to be Extension 100, the DSS buttons and associated LEDs on a
single DSS correspond to Extensions 100 to 149.
Remote Access Renumbering

The number assigned to a line/trunk can be reprogrammed and used (after
appropriate digit deletion and addition) as a remote access code. Users can call in
on a line/trunk, programmed to supply the remote access code, and reach a
system dial tone (barrier code entry should be programmed). From the system
