What is an Adjunct?

[AFJeff]

What exactly are "adjuncts"? I understand the station and extension #'s but don't understand how adjuncts work in the dial plan.

Found myself within the company of being sorta the phone guy; not necessarily add new lines or such but to do simple troubleshooting or moving phones.

We have a small company with less than 50 extensions and it's not currently setup to meet our demands and with the user guides and the forum here I have been able to find the solutions I need except for this one.

Thanks for the help

In the Legend world, with MLX sets, an Adjunct is a circuit card that can be installed in the bottom of the set, and provide either a Single Line Tip/Ring extension, or drive a 48V signaling device.

The adjunct will have an extension number totally separate from the extension number of the phone it is installed in. (Actually, it follows a pattern - if the default extension number of the phone is 7100, its adjunct will be 7300)

If you haven't actually installed the adjunct card in a phone, you can still use the adjunct extension number to create "phantom" extensions, for things like voice mail boxes, an extension number that has coverage at groups of phones, etc.

In the Magix world, on TDL sets, even though you can't physically install an adjunct card, they exist in the system for your use as phantoms.

We've only used physical adjuncts a few times. But we use them for phantom purposes regularly - that's the true benefit in our world. Use to make multiple phones ring simultaneously (via cover function), make a phone ring but forward to different voicemail or function on no answer, etc.
