Extension Name Display
Description
Users can assign a name, up to 12 characters long, to their extension. Then,
when that extension is used to make an intercom call, group call, or transferred
call, the name appears on the system display phone receiving the call.
Similarly, users receiving a transfer return call see the name of the person
assigned to the extension that did not answer the transferred call.
Related Features
Display Language (#303) has no effect on this feature. This means the
extension name displays as it is programmed.

Any extension, regardless of the phone type on that extension, can be
programmed with a name through Centralized Telephone Programming.
If users want to program their own extension name, they must use a system
display phone at their extension.
Only extension numbers—not names—are printed on SMDR reports.
You should program Extension Name Display when you first enter
Centralized Telephone Programming, before programming any other
features. If you want to program both Extension Name Display and
Automatic Line Selection (which also must be programmed when you first
enter Centralized Telephone Programming), first program Automatic Line
Selection, then exit and re-enter Centralized Telephone Programming to
program Extension Name Display.
