15 Understanding the dial plan 
To add this set of extensions to the dial plan:
1. Type 
change dialplan and press RETURN.
The Dial Plan Record screen appears.
2. Move the cursor to the 3rd row in the 4th column.
3. Type 
extension in the selected field.
4. Press 
EN TER to save your changes.
Adding feature access codes
As your needs change, you may want to add a new set of feature 
access codes for your system. Before you can assign a fac on the 
Feature Access Code screen, it must conform to your dial plan.
In our example, if you want to assign a feature access code of 33 
to Last Number Dialed, first you need to add a new fac range to 
the dial plan.
To add a fac range from 30–39:
1. Type
 change dialplan and press RETU RN.
The Dial Plan Record screen appears.
2. Move the cursor to the 3rd row and the 2nd column.
3. Type 
fac in the selected field.
4. Press 
EN TER to save your changes.

Changing feature access codes
Feature access codes (FAC) allow users to activate and deactivate 
features from their phones. A user who knows the fac for a 
feature does not need a programmed button to use the feature. For 
example, if you tell your users that the fac for the Last Number 
Dialed is *33, then users can redial a phone number by entering 
the fac, rather than requiring a Last Number Dialed button.
Many features already have factory-set feature access codes. You 
can use these default codes or you can change them to codes that 
make more sense to you. However, every fac must conform to 
your dial plan and must be unique. For more information about 
the dial plan, refer to ‘‘Understanding the dial plan’’ on page 11.
Let’s try an example. If you want to change the feature access 
code for Call Park to *72:
1. Type 
change feature-access-codes and press RETURN.
The feature access code (fac) screen appears.
2. Move the cursor to the Call Park Access Code field.
3. Type *
72 in the access code field over the old code.
4. Press 
EN TER to save your changes.
If you try to enter a code that is assigned to a feature, the 
system warns you of the duplicate code and does not allow 
you to proceed until you change one of them.
Tip:
To remove any feature access code, merely delete the existing fac 
and leave the field blank.

Managing phones
This section explains how to add, swap, or remove the phones on 
your system. This section also gives you tips for customizing 
your own phone so it has the feature buttons you need for many 
administration and troubleshooting tasks.
Note that this section does not tell you how to administer 
attendant consoles or IP softphones. If you need to add or modify 
an attendant console or IP softphone, refer to DEFINITY ECS 
Administrator’s Guide.
Adding new phones
When you are asked to add a new phone to the phone system, 
what do you do first? To connect a new phone you need to do 
three things: 
nfind an available port
nwire the port to the cross-connect field or termination 
closet
ntell the telephone system what you’re doing
Before you can determine which port to use for the new phone, 
you need to determine what type of phone you are installing, 
what ports are available, and where you want to install the phone.

Gathering necessary information
1. Determine whether the phone is an analog, digital, ISDN, 
or hybrid set.
You need this information to determine the type of port 
you need, because the port type and phone type must 
match. If you do not know what type of phone you have, 
refer to ‘‘Phone types’’ on page 4 for a list of phones by 
model number.
2. Record the room location, jack number, and wire number.
You may find this information on the jack where you want 
to install the phone, recorded in your system records, or 
from the technician responsible for the physical 
installation.
3. Display the available boards (cards) and ports.
To view a list of boards on your system, type 
list

The System Configuration screen shows all the boards on 
your system that are available for connecting phones. You 
can see the board number, board type, circuit-pack type, 
and status of each board’s ports. 
4. Choose an available port and record its port address.
Each port that is available or unassigned is indicated by a 
‘
u.’ Choose an available port from a board type that 
matches your phone type (such as a port on an analog 
board for an analog phone).
Every phone must have a valid port assignment, also 
called a port address. The combined board number and 
port number is the port address. So, if you want to attach a 
phone to the 3rd port on the 01C05 board, the port address 
is 01C0503 (01=cabinet, C=carrier, 05=slot, 03=port).
Tip:
If you add several phones at one time, you may want to 
print a paper copy of the System Configuration screen. To 
print the screen to a printer attached to the system 
terminal, type list configuration station print
 and 
press 
RETU RN. To print to the system printer that you use 
for scheduled reports, type list configuration station 
schedule immediate
 and press RETURN.
5. Choose an extension number for the new phone.
The extension you choose must not be assigned and must 
conform to your dial plan. You should also determine 
whether this user needs an extension that can be directly 
dialed (DID) or reached via a central phone number.
Be sure to note your port and extension selections on your 
system’s paper records.

Physically connecting the phone
Once you have collected all the information, you are ready to 
physically wire the port to the cross-connect field.
If you have a Lucent representative or on-site technician who 
completes the physical connections, you need to notify them that 
you are ready to add the phone to the system. To request that 
Lucent install the new connections, call your Lucent 
representative to place an order.
If you are responsible for making the connections yourself and if 
you have any questions about connecting the port to the 
cross-connect field, refer to your system installation guide.
Now you are ready to configure the system so that it recognizes 
the new phone.
Completing the station screens
The information that you enter on the station screen advises the 
system that the phone exists and indicates which features you 
want to enable on the phone.
To access the station screen for the new phone:
1. Type 
add station nnnn and press RETU RN, where nnnn is 
the extension for the new phone.
Make sure the extension conforms to your dial plan. You 
can also use the 
add station next command to add a 
phone to the next available extension. 
When the station screen appears, you see the extension 
number and some default field values. For example, the 
following screen is for a new phone at extension 2345.

Using station templates to add phones
A quick way to add phones is to copy the information from an 
existing phone and modify it for each new phone. For example, 
you can configure one phone as a template for an entire work 
group. Then, you merely duplicate the template station screen to 
add all the other extensions in the group.
Note that only phones of the same model can be duplicated. The 
duplicate command copies all the feature settings from the 
template phone to the new phones.
To duplicate an existing phone:
1. Type 
display station nnnn and press RETU RN.
nnnn is the extension of the station screen you want to 
duplicate to use as a template. Verify that this extension is 
the one you want to duplicate. 
2. Press 
CANCEL to return to the command prompt.
3. Type 
duplicate station nnnn and press RETU RN,  where 
nnnn is the extension you want to duplicate.
The system displays a blank Duplicate Station screen.

4. Type in the extension, port address, and phone name for 
each new phone you want to add.
The rest of the fields are optional. You can complete them 
at any time.
5. Press 
EN TER to save your changes to system memory.
To make changes to these phones, such as assigning coverage 
paths or feature buttons, type 
change station nnnn and press 
EN TER, where nnnn is the extension of the phone that you want to 
modify.
Using an alias
Not every phone model has a unique station screen in the system. 
You might have to use an available model number as an “alias” 
for another. If you need to enter a phone type that the system does 
not recognize or support, use an alias.
For example, you may purchase a phone model that is newer than 
your system. In this case, you can use an available model type

that best matches the features of your new phone. You can refer to 
your phone’s manual to determine which alias to use. If your 
manual does not have this information, you can contact the 
DEFINITY helpline for an appropriate alias.
For example, let’s use an alias to add a new 8403B phone to a 
DEFINITY G3V2 or earlier system.
1. Refer to your new phone’s manual to find the correct alias.
In our example, we find that the 8403B is administered on 
a G3V2 or earlier system as a 7405D phone.
2. Type 
change alias station and press RETURN.
The Alias Station screen appears.
3. Enter 
8403B in the Alias Set Type field.
Enter the model of the unsupported phone in this field.
4. Enter 
7405D in the Supported Set Type field.
Enter the alias (supported model) in this field.
