How to change the Extension Name?? - Avaya 5400 Series 5410 Phone

The extension name and extension number are set in the system programming. Use manager 'e' and change them in the station view. If you are swapping people around and want them to keep their extension numbers and names, you should re-patch the cables feeding to the wall sockets rather than change the programming (if you can).

Hi Amy, you can change the name for an extension, but it will change the name for the extension for all the phones.

It is best to do programming on a T7316, M7310, or an M7324

1. Feature **23646
2. Password: 266344
>>>your password may have been changed by your phone company. contact them for the password.
3. Scroll to General Admin
4. Go to Names
5. Select Set Names
6. Enter in the DN of the extension you would like to change
7. Use the dial pad to change the extension.
8. Press Rls when finished (handset with arrow facing down)

Go to control panel then go to folder option then click on view tab. On the list you'll find a option named "Hide extensions for known file type". Enable this option and click OK. Now you can rename your files easily.

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.
