Programming
Overview
After the system hardware is installed, you can customize the system and
individual telephones. This chapter explains how to use
programming to
accomplish that.
There are two types of programming:
■
System Programming allows you to customize the system to meet the
needs of your business. When the system is first installed, it uses factory
settings that reflect the most commonly used options. You can change
system settings as needed.
You can perform System Programming from either extension 10 or 11.
Because an extension cannot be in programming mode and handle calls at
the same time, consider using extension 11 for programming. Doing so
gives you the ability to program without disrupting call handling by the
receptionist at extension 10.
■
Telephone Programming allows telephones to be customized to meet
individual users’ needs. Individual telephones can be programmed either
from extension 10 or 11
(Centralized Telephone Programming), or from a
user’s extension using a system phone (Extension Programming).
A system display phone is required for System and Centralized Telephone
Programming. If you have any 34-button phones in the system, you must use a
34-button display phone to program since an 18-button phone
cannot be used to
program a 34-button phone. Also, if your system has both PARTNER-model and
MLS-model phones, it is recommended that you use a PARTNER-model display
phone at the programming extension.
The system permits programming from a remote location using a Remote
Administration Unit—see ‘‘Remote Programming’’ on page 2-25.
