o create a new Short Code, follow these steps:

    1. Click on Add.
    2. Enter the number of the Short Code to add.

      • Named short codes will also be included in Business Group and CommPortal contact lists, including a Business Address book that can be accessed on the CommPortal interface and on supported SIP phones.
      • You can have up to 1,000 named short codes or short code ranges in a Business Group.
