To keep announcement, user and pager information current, regular updates of data-
base information are required. Database modifications can be done on an as-needed
basis or at scheduled intervals.
All database fields, excluding the PBX Extension Length, can be modified. PBX Exten-
sion Length must be set correctly during initial setup. If set incorrectly, or if future mod-
ifications are necessary, the database must be recreated with the correct extension
length.
In some cases, more than one database may exist. To select which database to modi-
fy, access the PCI Main Dialog Box (Figure 3-1). The name of the open database is
located across the top of the APS Custom PCI window. To open a database other than
the one identified at the top of the screen, follow the steps below.
1) Select the Open Database icon. A list of the available existing databases
appears on the screen.
2) Using the up and down arrow keys, highlight the database that you wish to
modify and select OK. The system prompts you to confirm that you are
finished configuring the current database and wish to open a new database.
3) Select OK to confirm you are finished and to open the newly selected database.
