LineURI with Same Phone Number and Different Extension
I have a department that wants all of their outgoing calls to go from one number. I have a set of test phones which I changed to do this process, but I wanted to make sure I am not going to break anything or cause issues at a later time. What I did was set the Line URI to be in the following format: tel:+1######3537;ext=3524 Where the tel:+1######3537 remains the same for each of the numbers, but ;ext=3524 is whatever number that phone is logged on as. It appears to work as I can still call the 3524 in this case and it rings to the correct phone or vice versa. If I call outside of our campus, caller ID displays as ###-###-3537 which is correct. Again, I want to make sure I am not causing any new issues or issues down the road. I know that the ext=#### is simply to allow us to be able to log on easily to a phone in our case using PIN. Does doing this set up cause any issues or are others doing this to control how caller ID goes out for some areas? If this works, I can see using this similar set up for department chairs or others that do not want to display their real number. For this set up, I did not want to create private numbers which we have done, but if the above process works, then I would like to set this up. We are a hybrid setup. Let me know if you there are any questions. Curious if this is going to cause me any issues now or in the future. Thank you! John
