Assign Extension Name

What are you using to program.

PT Programming or you are using a PC Tool?

Did you save after setting names?

Press PROGRAM ** (then system password default is 1234) Use volume key to shoe extension name in display Use ENTER and ARROW keys and ALPHA NUMERICAL entry to change Press STORE to complete

It's not a password, it's a restriction. You change the Class of Service for the phone and put in the international code as a restricted digit.

Check your Programming manual for the system.

Changing the name and extension number can be done through system admin programming from a phone extension allowed by the class of service assigned to that extension by the phone system installer. Typically the attendant phone is allowed this ability. From the programming phone press **1234(1234 is the default password) to access programming. Once in programming dial 003 for extension numbering then press . Enter the current extension number of the phone you want to change followed by the new extension number then press . Lift the handset to end programming. Access programming again by pressing **1234. Dial 004 for extension name programming then press . Enter the new extension number you programmed then enter the name for the extension. Press then lift handset to end programming.

It is possible that your phone has not been assigned an extension number, in that case system installer programming would need to be accessed to assign the port an extension number. The port number the phone is connected to would have to be determined. This could require tracking the wiring back to where it is connected into the phone system. If this is the case I advise calling a qualified service technician.

Is that a name or a number?

Extension numbering and name are in system programming and that's a function of whatever system you have, not the phone. Generally, it's in system program 003 and 004 for number and name respectively.

In number change, most Pana systems require you to change one extension to a number not being used. In a TA-x24, the numbers are still assigned in software to 124, so you would change 109 to something out of the universe like 133, then change 122 to 109 and 133 to 122 :-)

If you have voice mail you may have to manually assign it via the owner's mailbox 999 or from the maintenance console or hyperterm.

If you are using the KX-T7730 phone on a Panasonic KX-Txx 308 or 824 system. From the Switchboard / Main telephone ( usually ext 101, 10 or 9 ) with the handset on the cradle press PROGRAM * # followed by the system password ( default is 1234). Now press 604 and then SP-PHONE. Enter the jack number you wish to change ( 01 is extension 101, 02 is extension 102 etc. ). Enter the name ( basically the same as texting on a cellphone ). Press AUTO DIAL / STORE to save your change. To go to the next extension press SP-PHONE. Don’t forget to press AUTO DIAL / STORE to save your change after each name entered. Press PROGRAM to exit program mode and you are done.
