How do you change names on a Nortel T7316 phone? I also would like to change the name of several T7208 phones on our system because of employment changes. Isn't this done by the T7316 or bigger phones, how can this be done?

usually the admin password is left at admin (23646)

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)

The phone must be programmed with the target line assigned to the number you wish to have ring at that phone. This can be done with the BCM Element Manager interface. If your BCM450 is running version 6, I think this can even be done directly from the phone, but I'm not sure of that process.

A problem with answering this question is first that the main SYSTEM keeps this info not the handset, so for the 3x8, 6x16, and 8x24 systems you can do the following (PROVIDED, the installer did not change the passwords to access).

Press FEATURE * * 2 6 6 3 4 4
Enter Password: 2 6 6 3 4 4 Display will read: " A. Configuration"
Press: NEXT Display will read: "B. General Admin"
(NEXT is always the button on the right of your lines/extension list, 2nd button down from top.)
4. Press: SHOW Display will read: "1. Sys speed dial" (SHOW is one key up from NEXT)
5. Press: NEXT Display will read: "2. Names"
6. Press the SHOW Display will read: "Set names"
7. Press: SHOW Display will read: "Show set:__"
8. Enter the extension number of which you wish to change the name Display will read: "<##:name>"
9. Press the CHANGE softkey
10. Using the dial pad spell out the name Ex: If you need the letter K press the 5 key twice and then press # to confirm the letter. Continue until the entire first name is spelled. (note: you are limited to 7 characters)
11. Press: NEXT (if you fail to do this step, the name will not be saved!!!)
12. Press the RLS key

I may be mistaken however I think you have to be on a model M7310, T7316, or M7324 phone (there should be at least one usually at the main desk) in order to program I don't think you can directly do it from the T7208.

Hope this helps.

to change the main greeting you need to get into admin programing F983 your also going to need a 7310 or 7324 or a T7316. You have to use the buttons under the LCD screen to navigate after getting into admin press AA
Press GRTG
Press GRTG again
and usually 1 is set for day
and 2 is set for night
press 1 then ok
Press REC.
Hope this helps

You need to use a phone model with more buttons...try a T7316 or M7310 or larger.

Hi

I buy my T7208's from:
http://www.exteradirect.co.uk/search.php?mode=basic&search=t7208

They are half the price of BT and work fine with both my BCM200 & BCM400 systems. Give them a call if you are in any doubt.

I am trying to changed my phone name as the person it belonged to is no longer here now.

Press "Feature **ADMIN", go to NAMES, Then go to Sets, and from their its just like texting
