2.3.1.4 Local Extensions
Take note of where you want to connect your extensions. As you can see, there are
either 4 or 8 physical extension jacks labeled 1 to 4 (for the 24 models) or 1 to 8 (for
the 48 models).
Select any of the extensions that you wish to configure.
Local Extensions are by default activated with the associated Voice mailbox. Voice
mailboxes for each Local Extension can be de-activated in the Voicemail section in
the System Information folder.
If desired, name the extension in the 'Extension name' space. Whatever name is
entered will appear on the Caller ID of another Local Extension during an intercom
call.
Direct Line Access:
Direct line access allows you to configure the extension to access a specific Hunt
Group automatically for outbound calls when the extension goes off hook. For
example, you may have a fax machine connected to this extension and don’t
want to reprogram the speed dial phone numbers. In this case you would select
'Direct line access' and choose the appropriate Hunt Group. As soon as the fax
goes off hook, TalkSwitch will hunt the specified lines for an available line. This
feature is also useful if you want to avoid dialing any digits for accessing a line.
