Short code to change extension login in IPO Server edition and Expansion 2

[Kikie]

Hi.
I need assistance in creating a short code to change a user's extension login code.
Thanks.

There is not such a shortcode. With decent Avaya phones you can change it via the menu:
16xx[tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][tab]96xx

You can use a short code for this. It is in the docs.

Allows a user to change their login code. The login code must meet the Login Code Complexity requirements defined on the Manager System | Telephony tab.

Details

Telephone Number: The user's current and new log in codes separated by a *, see the examples below.

Default Short Code:

Programmable Button Control:

Example

The user has a Login Code of 1234 and wants to change it to 5678. To use the short code below, the user must dial *60*1234*5678#.

Short Code: *60*N#

Telephone Number: N

Feature: Change Login Code.

Example

For a user with no login code currently set, they can still use the short code to set a login code. For example using the short code created above to set their login code to 1234 they should dial *60**1234#.

Example

System phone users can also use this short code to change the login code of an other user. For example 403 is configured as a system phone with a login code of 1234. User 410 has forgotten their login code and needs it changed. User 403 can do this by dialing the following:

*60*410*1234*<new code>#

Another * form me
I did not know that either
Now if only there was a way to force a pw change after login it would stop lazy customers having the same log in code
without causing excessive work for the installation engineer
