Using an alias
Not every phone model or device has a unique station screen in the system. You
might have to use an available model as an “alias” for another. If you need to enter
a phone type that the system does not recognize or support, use an alias. Defining
aliases is also a useful method to identify items that act as analog stations on the
switch, such as a fax machine, a modem, or other analog device.

If you purchase a phone model that is newer than your system, you can alias this
phone to an available model type that best matches the features of your new
phone. Refer to your phone’s manual to determine which alias to use. If your
manual does not have this information, you can contact the DEFINITY helpline
for an appropriate alias.
