Special dialplans for reception are entirely up to you. The only
reason reception phones have different dialplans to normal extensions
is that often people want the receptionist's phone to behave a little
differently.<br>
<br>
The Polycom 601 (nor any of the other common IP phonse designed for
receptionist use as far as I'm aware) does not <i>require</i> any
special handling or precautions. However, if it is the main point of
contact for your business (as is often the case) then you probably do
want to put in some extra effort to ensure it works as it should.<br>

<pre wrap="">I was reading a Polycom brochure and it appears that there is really no
special receptionist console and the console is basically a IP601. Is
this correct?
The only difference is to purchase an expansion module in order to have
more shortcut keys for the girls.
So, apart from the hardware, as far as the dialplan is concerned, do I
just treat the receptionist console as any other extension?
Are there any special precautions I need to be aware of?
Thanks in advance.
