Abstract
An Internet protocol (IP) phone is installed in a private branch exchange (PBX) system without a user having to manually correlate the phone's media access control (MAC) address with the phone's extension identifier. In this regard, the PBX is configured to automatically learn the phone's MAC address and correlate such address with an extension identifier entered by the user. Thus, the phone can be installed for use with the PBX system with reduced complexity and burdens for the user.
