Programmable A telephone button that can be set up to access a feature.
button On MLS- and MLC-model phones, programmable buttons
can be used as Auto Dial buttons (for one-touch dialing of
Centrex feature codes or telephone numbers) or equipment
feature buttons.
System Designates the way the premises equipment works for your
Programming business on a system-wide basis. System Programming
requires an MLS-34D or MLS-12D phone and must be done
from extension jack 10 or extension jack 11.
Telephone Customizes ringing or adds special dialing features for
Programming extensions, to meet the needs of individual users. Telephone
Programming can be done either centrally (see Centralized
Telephone Programming) or from the user’s own extension
(see Extension Programming).
System Programming Procedures
In general, you can program the premises equipment in one of two ways:
Direct Method. With this method, you access a programming procedure
■
by dialing the code for that procedure.
■ Cycle Method. With this method, you cycle through the procedures in
numerical order by pressing [
Next Procedure
] or [
Prev Procedure
] (see the
programming overlays on pages 5-5 and 5-6). This method is best for
programming the premises equipment for the first time or for changing a
series of related settings.
NOTE:
You can be talking on the phone while you program. This is useful if you need
to talk with someone at the AT&T Helpline about programming. However, you
must call before you enter programming mode, and you must use the handset to
talk, not the speaker and microphone.
Review the following two procedures before you start to program, as they may
facilitate your programming task:
Button-Down Mode (#723) adjusts ringing for all phones connected to
■
your equipment controller. Designed for people who are accustomed to
1A Key systems, this feature causes incoming calls on secondary lines to
flash (but not ring). To pick up a call, a user must press the line button.
This prevents users from accidentally answering incoming calls on
secondary lines when they are trying to place calls on their primary lines.
Only the receptionist’s phone at extension jack 10 follows the premises
equipment defaults (“immediate ring” for the primary line and “delayed
ring” for secondary lines). The default for Button-Down Mode is “Not
Active.”
