In-Depth Information
After configuring CME parameters, phones must be configured, as shown in the following example:
ephone-dn
10
number
1001
name
sales
!
ephone
5
mac-address
0009.E8FC.1B38
type 7960
button
1:10
The
ephone-dn
dn-tag
[
dual-line
] command creates an ephone-dn and enters ephone-dn configuration mode. The optional
dual-
line
keyword can be used to configure two voice channels on one voice port, which can be useful for call transfer, call waiting, and
conferencing.
The
number
number
and
name
name
commands configure an extension number for this ephone and (optionally) specify a name used
for caller ID and directory listing (this is automatically created). The
directory entry
command can used to manually add entries
to the directory, and the
service
dnis dir-lookup
command can be used to display the called name associated with each number
configured using the
directory entry
command.
Next, the
ephone
phone-tag
command is used to enter ephone configuration mode, and the
mac-address
[
mac-address
] command
configures the MAC address associated with a phone.
Finally, the
button
button-number
{
separator
}
dn-tag
command associates a phone button number and line characteristics with an
extension (ephone-dn). In this example, phone button 1 will use a normal ring (denoted by the colon character) and will be associated
with the extension previously created using the
ephone-dn 25
command (1001).
