SImple question I hope.

Where I used to work we had a code we punched into the phone that gave us the physical port and the extension of the phone right on the phones LCD display. Now I am in another facility and this functionality I was used to using is not there.

I am a network guy not a phone guy but attempted to poke around in the Avaya commands to see where this feature is hidden. I looked all arround in the display feature-access-codes and I saw the PASTE (Display PBX data on the phone) Access Code. I thought this may be it but when I added a code to the PBX I tested it from a phone and got no information still.

1) Is this the right command to get this functionality?
2) Does this command require a reboot to take hold?

All I am looking for is a command that can be done on the phone itself that will display the physical port a phone is punched down to and its associated extension (providing its not TTIed out) without having to call another phone.

I am sure this is a quick simple answer/fix but it will help our supporting this facility much easier.

Using ASA change feature access code. Around page 3 look for Self Station Display Activation: in this field put the code in here. No it does not require a reboot.

Hope this helps

Great thank you very much.

It depends on the PBX. On some of our PBXs it's found at the bottom of page 2.

Most of my switches are R7 - too old for that feature

In order for you to be able to set the FAC for the self-display, you also need to make sure the feature is turned on ..
