Using TTI to move phones
Terminal Translation Initialization (TTI) allows you to merge an x-ported station 
to a valid port by dialing a TTI merge code, a system-wide security code, and the 
x-port extension from a telephone connected to that port. TTI also allows you to 
separate an extension from its port by dialing a similar separate digit sequence. 
This action causes the station to revert to an x-port.
TTI can be used for implementing telephone and data module moves from office 
to office. That is, you can separate a telephone from its port with TTI, unplug the 
telephone from the jack, plug in the telephone in a jack in a different office, and 
merge the telephone to its new port with TTI.

SECURITY ALERT:
If you do not manage this feature carefully, its unauthorized use may cause 
you security problems. For example, someone who knows the TTI security 
code could disrupt normal business functions by separating telephones or 
data terminals. You can help protect against this action by frequently 
changing the TTI security code. You can further enhance system security by 
removing the FAC from the system when it does not need to be used (for 
example, there are no moves going on at present). Consult the BCS Systems 
Security Handbook for additional steps to secure your system and find out 
about obtaining information regularly about security developments.
Before you start
Before you can merge a telephone, you must set the TTI State field to 
voice 
on the 
Feature-Related System-Parameters screen. You also must set the extension to 
match the port type of the TTI port making the merge request. For example, a 
digital telephone type can merge only to a port on a digital board.
NOTE:
If you use CAMA trunks and you are moving a phone to a different physical 
location, be sure to update your emergency service provider’s database. 
Since emergency teams use this database to determine the phone’s location 
during an emergency call, you should help keep this database current.
NOTE:
You cannot use TTI to change 10-MET, 20-MET, or 30-MET phones.
