Phone Type shows as "invalid entry" 4

[ThurmanB]

When I try to type 1408 or 1416 into the phone type on the station form, it gives me "invalid entry". I know there is something I need to update to get an updated list of phone types, but I'm not sure what it is.

Here is my swversion. I know I'm out of date quite a bit, I've recently taken this system over and the previous person who ran it did not take care of maintenance very well.

use 2410/2420

Thanks for your reply. That's what I'm currently using. I just wanted to know, is this something that will update with CM 6 or 7?

you could alias those 2410 to be a 1408 and a 2420 to be a 1416, cha alias station

Yes you should see those phones somewhere in the CM6.x releases. Get to 7 and you'll not have to worry about this specific issue.

Thanks Yall,

It was more curiosity than anything.

When creating an alias I suggest you put an identifier to indicate the alias such as 1408A. Otherwise you may have an issue later when Avaya provides native support for the set type.

Great Idea,
Thanks!
