Add Department Information

In Telephony Manager, the Store (Site ID), Departments and PBXs must be added before Extensions can be added.
Phones are assigned extensions based on Departments. There might be multiple unique extensions defined for a Department. Telephony Manager controls the distribution of the extensions provided by the PBX Administrator.
The following are the inter-relationships of the data across the subsystems.
  • When adding Departments, the Department Name value in Telephony Manager must match the User Role/Department value in Profile Manager.
  • After a device becomes activated on a PBX, the User Role/Department value is displayed on the Profile Client device.
The following shows the relationship of the values in Telephony Manager, Profile Manager, and WFC Profile Client.
