 Step 3: Configure each Parking lot

    ( An extension cannot exist in multiple parking lots.)  

  • Click the Save button.

  • After an extension has been added or removed from a Departmental Parking Lot, the phone must be rebooted for the change to take effect. 

Note: Older phone models & remote phones are not supported with this feature. Any phone that is not supported will be listed below the configuration in the Departmental Parking Lots page.

Supported phone models

  • Yealink T4xS , T4xU and T5xW series 

  • Polycom VVX300, 400, 500 and 600 series 

  • Polycom Edge series 

  • Sangoma P series phones 

Things to note: 

If a change occurs to the parking configuration through the customer’s custom dial plan, all departmental park configurations will be removed, and any existing departmental park configurations will need to be rebuilt. 

  1. The starting parking lot is based off the customer's custom dial plan Parking configuration.

  2. The parking lot start configuration must match the number of the park extension configuration in the customer’s custom dial plan; otherwise, the parking lots will not function as intended.
