Magix - Determining extension

[fortage]

Is there an easy way to determine the extensions assosiated with each phone port on analog/digital card? Other than attaching a phone to each port and calling a phone with a display.

Thanks

If you have SPM a PRINT of the DIAL PLAN would work quite well.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Personally, I'd pring the Extension Directory instead. It's diffulcult to sort out what is an adjunct extension and what is a real physical extension when looking at the dial plan report.

After printing the Extension Directory, export it to your desktop as a text file. Open it up in notepad and clean it up a little, removing the headers and footers, and if the file is long enough, the second header at the page break.

Open it in Excel, and define it as fixed width, put delimiters around the slots, ports, extension numbers, and names, then mark all the extraneous columns as "ignore". Now you have a spreadsheet of 8 columns, going slot-port-ext-name-slot-port-ext-name. Highlight the 2nd section of slot-port-ext-name, paste it directly under the 1st section, then delete the highlighted section.

Finally, "Insert" a new Row, label it Slot Port Ext Name. Now you can use the "Data" function to sort by Name, or Extension Number, or Slot and then Port, to get the information easily.

For installations, I'll do all that, then copy and paste the info so there are three sets on one page, and sort one by Name, one by Ext. No., and one by Slot and Port. Stick it by the Control Unit, and it makes it easy to find things while running the cross connects.

Yeah, That's what I meant...Sorry for the misdirection....

TTTommmy is right on, and when you do this in word, creat a MACRO so you only have to push all the buttons once...

Printingt out an extension directory will work a little cleaner, and will list the adjuncts a little easier.
