Business Communications Manager Companion Configuration Guide
Using portable DNs to show handset status
After you enable registration for your Business Communications Manager system, a series of
extension numbers (565 to 596) are automatically available for registration. Check that an
extension number is available before registering a portable telephone to it.
To view registered and available DNs:
1 Click on the keys beside Services, Telephony Services, Companion, Registration, Portable
DNs.
2 Click a portable DN (for example, DN 471).
The DN status box appears.
If the extension number shows a status of Available, it is ready for registering a Companion
portable telephone.
If the extension number shows a status of Registered, a Companion portable telephone is
already registered to that extension number. In this case, you can pick a different extension
number, or deregister the current portable telephone. You must perform deregistration both at
the portable and from Unified Manager.
Credits available Read-only. This field shows the number of credits that are available for
handset registration.
This number must be any positive number to allow portables to be
registered. The number decrements by one with each successful
registration. The number increments when a telephone is
deregistered. More credits can be added by purchasing additional
keycodes.
Registration password <five digits> Enter the digital code that needs to be identified on the handset to
allow access to the system. This number can be changed, as
required.
Tips: You can choose any combination of one to six digits for the password. It is
easier to remember the password if the digits spell a word. Provide this
password only to selected personnel, to prevent unauthorized access to
programming. The implications of such access can include the rearrangement
of line assignments, which can affect the operation of the Business
Communications Manager.
