Users Tab Settings Setting Line Description Enter at least one extension in the Extensions cell. The first extension that you enter in the cell assigns an owner to the phone. The user that is associated with that extension gets assigned to the phone, and if the phone supports the functionality in the usage profile, the user can use the features on the phone that the user owns. You can set up to six extensions. To create a shared line, which is a single extension that two or more phones share, enter an extension that will be assigned to two or more phones. To create a rollover line, which is the same line that is assigned to the same phone, enter the same extension more than once in the cell. Caution Always verify that the user and assigned extension exist. If you plan to add a phone through the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file, make sure that you add at least one extension to the Line cell under the Phone tab. Otherwise, the phone configuration fails to get inserted into the system.In addition, if the extension is not assigned to a user, the phone configuration fails to get inserted into the system. Users Tab Settings Phones, users, and lines are closely related in Cisco Business Edition 3000. A user, which is an employee from the company, uses the usage profile on a phone that is supported in Cisco Business Edition 3000. Because phones and users are closely related, you cannot configure a phone without first configuring a user that has an extension (line) from the dial plan assigned to it. In the Cisco Business Edition 3000 system, a user becomes an owner of a phone when you assign the user extension to line 1 on the phone. If the user is an owner of the phone, the phone uses the usage profile that is assigned to the user. To configure other settings, such as speed dials, external caller ID, and call forward all, as described in the User Settings, on page 385, select Users/Phones > Users in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface. The following table describes the settings for the Users tab. OL-27022-01 Administration Guide for Cisco Business Edition 3000, Release 8.6(4) 91
