I have a T7316E Nortel phone and we have had a lot of employees chance. I need to change the display name for each phone. How do I do that?

You can't change that I believe. You can however check the user manual or call Avaya support http://www.pdfkeep.com/nortel-t7316e-manual

Hi Kym,

It sounds like your phone might be a bit of a lone ranger! Try cloning someone else's phone settings to your phone and see if that solves the problem for you. You can do this by:
Feature **266344
Password: 266344
You should see Terminals and Sets. Press the Show button.
It should ask the for extension number, so enter the extension of someone whose phone is working properly.
Press Copy
It'll say "Copy SystemData" Change that so that it copies subscriber as well.
Press Next. It'll say Copy Single. Press Next
Enter your extension number when it says Copy to:
Once it has finished, hang up and give your phone a try once it has updated.

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

Try Feature ** ADMIN (23646) and password 23646. This should let you in to make name and time changes.

The administrator or tech needs to do this from Administration programming (FXXXDMIN), see your office admin or call the tech in for admin training.
