Solved: Is there a Variable for the name

KPABA · ‎01-20-2014

Is there a variable that I can use to configure phones to display the name? I have two places where I want to set it up.

First of all, when I am logged in, the phone shows my number instead of the name. Can I have name or both?

Second, when I page (using Paging feature), it shows either name that I had to manually enter, or it shows the MAC address of my phone.

Is there a variable for the name that I can use in my config file?

Thank you.

Hello KPABA,

The Administrator guide matching your software release should be consulted in order to get these individual parameters.

Or in addition simply changing a parameter via the web interface and then exporting the configuration will show these as well.

PTT Name:

ptt.displayName="PTT"

Group Paging Name:

ptt.pageMode.displayName="Paging"

Line Label Name:

reg.1.label="Label"

Is there any way to receive straight answer?

The variables that could be used are: PHONE_MODEL, PHONE_PART_NUMBER, and PHONE_MAC_ADDRESS. My question is: Is there variable for the user name or full name of the user that is logged in?

I do not want display name to be PPT, Paging, or something like this. I know how to do this. I want to know if it is possible to have a name of the user that is logged in to the phone. I hope that there is a variable for the user name.

Hello KPABA,

the answer is no after you specified what you are exactly after.

I can only supply you with the correct and supported parameters.
