Merging an extension with a TTI telephone

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2012 |

Before you begin

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.

About this task

For example, a digital telephone type can merge only with a port on a digital board. You can destroy your hardware if you attempt to connect an analog telephone to a digital port. You cannot use TTI to change a virtual extension.

To merge an extension with a TTI telephone, the steps are as follows:

Procedure

  1. Dial the TTI merge FAC.
    • If the code is correct, you receive dial tone.

    • If the code is incorrect, you receive intercept tone.

  2. Dial the TTI security code from the telephone you want to merge.
    • If the code is correct, you receive the dial tone.

    • If the code is incorrect, you receive the intercept tone.

  3. Dial the extension of the telephone you want to merge.
    • If the extension is valid, you receive confirmation tone, which might be followed by dial tone.

    • If the extension is valid and you receive the intercept tone immediately following the confirmation tone, attempt the merge again.

    • If the extension is valid but the extension is being administered, you receive the reorder tone. Try the merge again later.

    • If the extension is invalid, you receive the intercept tone.

    • If the system is busy and cannot complete the merge, you receive the reorder tone. Try the merge again later.

    • If the telephone has a download status of pending, you receive the reorder tone. Change the download status to complete, and try the merge again.
