Quick tip:
"change extension-station " from Communications Manager allows you to change the station number of station without having to recreate the extension.

Here is a screen shot of the command:

Using 46xxsettings.txt to apply settings based on MAC address of Avaya IP Phones

Here is just an example of how you can use the 46xxsettings.txt file to set options/settings on the 46xx Avaya IP phones by making entries in the 46xxsettings.txt file that is stored on the tftp or https server.

IF $MACADDR SEQ GOTO HSECURITY

# HSECURITYSET
MCIPADD x.x.x.x
SET PHY2STAT 0
SET OPSTAT 000
SET STATIC 0
SET PROCPSWD 8123456
SET SNMPSTRING XYZ

#end
