Changing Extension Names 1

[ericturner]

I seem to remember where to change extension names on my BCM 400 being at

Services
--+ Ip Telephony
----+ Active sets

But, its not there anymore. What gives? Where do I change the display name?

 

[bwinatick]

after active set DNS doubleclick the extension and its under the general tab

 

[ericturner]

Active sets is nowhere to be found.

Services
--+ Ip Telephony
----+ Active sets
.......DN
xxxx click on the DN you want to change.


In a box to the right you will see the Number or the name

Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.

Am I missing something? This is from the ee_admin account

If you aren't getting anything under telephony services, you need to install a lesser version of the jave runtime environment (jre). Version 5 works, but version 6 doesn't.

Thank you! I just downgraded Java and it works like a charm. I have been looking for this for a while.

If you know how to go in thru the telephone, you can also change it that way. It's sometimes faster than going to the truck and getting my lap top.

Except that on 3.x set based admin is unsupported by Nortel. They know when you've made a change via telset should you require their assistance with something.

Caveat Emptor

Any idea why they would not support it? I imagine they put it in for a reason, seems if that was the case why put it in at all. Also i've done it mostly on 4.0.

There were issues with the system not correctly applying changes to the MSC and changes not taking.

Was this fixed, and what software version?

 

[ericturner]

It was fixed by downgrading from Java 6 to Java 5.
