Tip A department is a special kind of user that is reserved for public-space phones; this user is reserved for
phones in cafeterias, lobbies, and break rooms . A public-space phone cannot support Reach Me Anywhere.
You do not configure passwords or phone PINs for departments, unlike users (Users/Phones > Users).
Example of How User or Department Ownership Works for a Phone
Procedure
Step 1 If you have not already done so, add the user or department configuration; for example, add the user by
selecting Users/Phones > Users (or Department) in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface.
• When you add the user or department, you must assign a usage profile that you want to be available to
the phone.
• When you add the user or department, assign an extension to the user or department, based on the dial
plan that is set up for your system.
Step 2 Add the phone and assign the extension to line 1 on the phone.
The user or department becomes the owner of the phone, and a user can use the features and functionality
from the usage profile on the phone if the phone supports the functionality.
Tip
Note
On the User or Department page, you create lines for the user or department based on the dial plan that you
set up; for example, if your dial plan is set up for 4-digit dialing with an extension range of 2000-2999, you
can assign an extension such as 2555 to the user or department. You can set up to 6 extensions in a prioritized
list for each user or department. The usage profile that you assign to the user or department applies to all
extensions that are in the prioritized list.
You assign user extensions (lines) to the phone on the Phone page. You can set up to 6 lines as a prioritized
list on the Phone page, even if the phone does not support 6 lines. For each line, you can define Call Forward
All and External Caller ID.
The phone button template that is configured in the usage profile determines the order of line buttons and the
types of functionality that displays next to the line buttons on the phone; for example, for all lines except line
1, which must be a line because of user-phone ownership, you can designate a line as a speed dial, line, or
feature button (Mobility and Meet-Me Conference). When the phone button template that is configured in the
usage profile designates the buttons as lines, the system orders the lines that are assigned on the Phone page
based on the prioritized list, with the first line being designated for line 1, the second line in the list being
used for the next button on the phone that is designated as line 2. In the Usage Profile, you must establish the
purpose for all line buttons on the phone, even when the phone does not support all the line buttons.
The users can create up to 48 speed dials in a prioritized list in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 User Preferences
Interface, even when the phone does not support 48 speed dials.
Note
OL-27022-01
You can create a shared line between an IP phone and an analog phone using the same user extension.

The number of speed dial keys that can be created is dependent on the model of phone and whether
key expansion modules are connected to the phone.
