12 CHAPTER 1: VCX V7000 BASIC TELEPHONE — MODEL 2101
VCX Telephone Model 2101 Overview
Your VCX 2101 Basic Telephone must be configured to work in an IP
network. This means your phone must be assigned an IP address so it can
communicate with other VCX phones and devices. Typically, your
administrator assigns IP parameters, including an IP address, as part of
the installation process.
Your administrator must also assign a password for your telephone. This
password associates your telephone extension (and mailbox) with your
account. This may allow you to configure another VCX phone in the
system to duplicate your primary phone (see the note below). This means
if you are away from your primary phone (for example, in a different
office), you can program the local phone to use your extension. Any calls
made to your extension will ring in both locations and you can access
your mailbox from either phone.
It is also possible for an administrator to lock an extension to a particular
phone. If this is the case, you cannot program the phone to use your
extension.
To program the local phone with your primary phone’s extension:
1 Press Feature + 600 + 5 + 6 to log out of local phone.
2 Press Feature + 600 + 5 + 4 and enter the number of your primary
phone.
3 Press Feature + 600 + 5 + 6 and enter the password for your primary
phone. This associates your extension with the local phone and logs you
in to the network.

28 CHAPTER 3: VCX V7000 BASIC TELEPHONES — MODELS 3101 AND 3101SP
VCX Telephone Model 3101 and 3101SP Overview
Your VCX 3101 Basic Telephones must be configured to work in an IP
network. This means your phone must be assigned an IP address so it can
communicate with other VCX phones and devices. Typically, your
administrator assigns IP parameters, including an IP address, as part of
the installation process.
Your administrator must also assign a password for your telephone. This
password associates your telephone extension (and mailbox) with your
account. This may allow you to configure another VCX phone in the
system to duplicate your primary phone (see the note below). This means
if you are away from your primary phone (for example, in a different
office), you can program the local phone to use your extension. Any calls
made to your extension will ring in both locations and you can access
your mailbox from either phone.
It is also possible for an administrator to lock an extension to a particular
phone. If this is the case, you cannot program the phone to use your
extension.
To program the local phone with your primary phone’s extension:
1 Press Feature + 600 + 5 + 6 to log out of local phone.
2 Press Feature + 600 + 5 + 4 and enter the number of your primary
phone.
3 Press Feature + 600 + 5 + 6 and enter the password for your primary
phone. This associates your extension with the local phone and logs you
in to the network.
The VCX Model 3101 Basic Telephone does not include a microphone,
which means it does not support speaker phone operation. The VCX
Model 3101SP Basic Telephone has a microphone and supports speaker
phone operation. All other features operate the same on the two
telephones.

communicate with other VCX phones and devices. Typically, your
administrator assigns IP parameters, including an IP address, as part of

Your administrator must also assign a password for your telephone. This
password associates your telephone extension (and mailbox) with your

OMPLEMENT ATTENDANT
C
The VCX V7000 Attendant Console (Model 3105) and the VCX
Complement Attendant Software (CAS) application enable a receptionist
to handle high call volumes efficiently. Although receptionists are the
primary users of the Attendant Console and the CAS, the two can also be
used by busy sales representatives and others who receive a high volume
of telephone calls or who make frequent calls to the same telephone
numbers.
This chapter includes the following topics:
■ VCX Attendant Console — A device that works along with VCX
telephones to increase call handling capability. In many offices, the
Attendant Console is used by a receptionist or switchboard operator,
who is referred to in this guide as “the receptionist.”
■ Complement Attendant Software (CAS) — A software application,
installed by an administrator, that allows a receptionist to answer and
route calls using a personal computer.
The Attendant Console and VCX Complement Attendant Software
application can be used at the same time. However:
■ When incoming calls appear on the Attendant Console, you must
handle them using the buttons of the console.
■ When calls appear on the CAS computer screen, you must handle
them using the mouse and the CAS software features.

Your administrator can assign features to each Access button. Possible
features include:
■ Status of internal telephone extensions (busy, available)

Attendant Console button, the button assignment does not become
effective until either the Attendant Console is rebooted or the phone
registration interval elapses. The registration interval is one hour.
■ Status of external telephone lines
■ Speed dials for:
■ User extensions
■ Pager numbers
■ Cellular telephone numbers
Feature Buttons The four Feature buttons can be programmed for the most common
features needed by a receptionist: Call Transfer, Call Hold, Conference,
Call Park. The Shift button does not affect the operation of the Feature
buttons. Your administrator configures the feature assigned to a

Returning to the
Headset After a
Delay
Long
Certain brands of headsets enter a power-saving mode that prevents the
telephone from ringing for one or more calls when both of these
conditions are true:
■ The headset amplifier buttons for Mute and On are both set to On.
■ The handset is off the phone for a long time (for example, overnight).
It may take a few minutes for your headset to return from the
power-saving mode to the active mode when calls first come in, so your
telephone may not ring until the headset has returned to active mode,
and you may miss a call.
If you plan to not use the headset for a long time, 3Com recommends
that you set the mute and headset buttons on the amplifier to Off and
hang up the handset on your telephone. When you are ready to receive
calls again, set up the headset for receiving calls:
1 Pick up the handset on your telephone and set it on your desk.
2 Put on the headset.
3 On the amplifier, set the headset button to On.

This section describes how to enable and use speed dial codes set up
through the VCX 7000 User Interface.
A speed dial code is a dialing string that you use instead of dialing an
entire number. Speed dial codes are useful for replacing phone numbers
that you dial frequently or phone numbers that have long dial strings.
You can set a maximum of 9 speed dial codes through the VCX 7000
User Interface.

78 CHAPTER 7: ADVANCED FEATURES
Enabling Bridge Extensions
This section describes how to enable and use bridge extensions set up
through the VCX 7000 User Interface.
The VCX system allows you to set up your extension so that other users
can receive your calls at their phone. Through the 3Com VCX Web
Interface, you can grant permission to up to 10 users to receive calls
intended for your extension; that is, you are “bridging” your extension to
their phone.
Bridging an extension requires three steps:
1 On the phone whose extension you want to bridge (for example,
extension 1000):
a Log in to the VCX 7000 User Interface, select the My Extensions
option, then access the Bridge Permissions tabbed page.
b Specify the extension (for example, extension 1001) that you want to
receive a bridged call and click Save.
2 On the phone that will receive a bridged call (in this example, extension
1001):
a Log in to the VCX 7000 User Interface, select the My Extensions
option, then access the Bridge Mappings tabbed page.
b Map the bridged extension (in this example, extension 1000) to an
Access button (either button 4 or 5) and click Save.
You should not bridge an extension to a Basic phone (Models 2101 or
3101) because these phones have no programmable access buttons.
Therefore, a Basic phone has no way of distinguishing a call to its
extension and a bridged call.
3 For the bridged line settings to take effect, log off and then log on to the
phone that will receive a bridged call (in this example, extension 1001).
In this example, an incoming call to extension 1000 will also be offered to
extension 1001 on line 4 or on line 5 depending what you selected in
step 2b.
The bridged phone can identify up to 10 phone number to bridge with,
but the number of extensions it can actually bridge is determined by the
maximum number of contacts that the system administrator has set up
for the phone.
