Line Label

Overview

Endpoint Manager allows you to set the Line Label in one of four ways.  Depending on your preference.

Setting Line Label type

  • You can set the Line Label type using the PBX EndPoint Manager.

  • Go into End Point Manager in your PBX and select the Sangoma brand in the menu.

 

  • Click on the template in End Point Manager that you want to modify.

 

 

  • Click on the Options menu tab at the top
     

  • Line Label can be set one of four ways.

    • Name - Uses the name of the extension mapped to the phone.

    • Extension - Uses the extension number that is mapped to the phone.

    • Name-Extension - Combines the name and extension that is mapped to the phone.  Can become too long.

    • Extension-Name - Combines the extension and name that is mapped to the phone.  Most commonly chosen option.

  • You now need to update the phone configuration file. The three options at the bottom of the template are:

  • Save Template- This will only save your changes into the PBX database. It will not write out new config files for the phones that are using this template as mapped in the Extension Mapping section of End Point Manager.

  • and Rebuild Configs- This will save your changes to the PBX Database and will also write out new config files for the phones that are using this template as mapped in the Extension Mapping section of End Point Manager. The phones will need to be rebooted in order to retrieve the changes.

  • and Force Update- This will do both the "Save Template" and the "and Rebuild Configs" options above, and it will also immediately update any phones that are mapped to use this template and currently registered to the PBX, with no need to reboot the phones.
