Disabling ports

Disabling a port means that it cannot be used for outgoing calls, and incoming calls on that port are not answered. If the Go off hook when port disabled option in the Voice Mail System Configuration application (General - PBXs page) is selected, the port is taken off hook when it is disabled.

Before you can disable a port, it must be Idle. If the port is busy, it is disabled the next time it becomes idle.

To disable a port:

  1. In the Port States window, select the port.
  2. You can select multiple ports by holding down the Shift key or Control key and clicking on the ports you require.

  3. Do one of the following:
    • Click the Disable icon .
    • From the Change State menu, click Disable.
    • Right-click the port and then, from the popup menu, click Disable.
