Managing phones
This section explains how to add, swap, upgrade, and remove the phones on your 
system. This section also gives you tips for customizing your own phone (for 
system administration) so it has the feature buttons you need for many 
administration and troubleshooting tasks. 
Note that this section does not tell you how to administer an attendant console. If 
you need to add or modify an attendant console, refer to 
‘‘Managing your 
attendant consoles’’ on page 91
.
Adding new phones
When you are asked to add a new phone to the phone system, what do you do 
first? To connect a new phone you need to do three things: 
find an available port
wire the port to the cross-connect field or termination closet
tell the telephone system what you’re doing
Before you can determine which port to use for the new phone, you need to 
determine what type of phone you are installing, what ports are available, and 
where you want to install the phone.
