If there are no extensions available, the Auto Discover process fails, and the telephone's display panel continues to display the telephone's MAC address. ■ If you are adding devices that do not have a display panel, such as 3100 Entry Telephones, connect the devices one at a time and then refresh the Telephone Configuration > Telephones list after you connect a device to see the extension assigned to that device. ■ Do not specify an Auto Discovery starting extension that begins with zero (0) as that will cause the Auto Discover process to fail. ■ If you are installing a 3Com Attendant Console, connect it after you have discovered all of the telephones.
