Adjust Your Telephone Line's Settings

On the Telephone lines page, you can view the telephone lines that you are set as an Owner for. You can also adjust your telephone lines' settings.

Quick Tip: You will notice that each device is registered to its own 7-digit extension number. This 7-digit extension number is referred to as a Telephone Line.

 

On this page, you can do the following:

  • View a device's 7-digit extension number and model.
  • Click an extension number shown to edit the settings of a telephone line.
  • In the Last Provision From column, view the date and time the device was last registered and the WAN IPv4 address the device was connected to.
  • The Red Flag will indicate if a phone is not currently registered and connected to our server.
  • Check the 911 Caller ID number that would be shown if they dialed 9-1-1 from the device. 

 


Adjust Your Telephone Line's Settings

To view and adjust the settings of a telephone line for a specific device, click its 7-digit extension number. 

Use the sections below to learn more about the different information and options shown in the Status, Settings, and Forward to sections of this page.

    •  The last number (extension number, telephone number, speed dial, or feature code) that was dialed by this phone.
    •  The phone number of the last person to place a call handled by this device.
    •  The 911 Address that will be shown to responders when this device dials 9-1-1.
