Initial System Setup
After the control unit is installed, you set up the system using a combination of
system and telephone programming procedures. In this guide, System
Programming procedures are identified by a code (# and three digits);
Telephone Programming procedures are identified by the feature name only.
Use the System Planner as a guide when programming. The following sections
provide an overview of the procedures you use for initial system setup. See
Chapter 5 for more information on specific procedures. Other programming
procedures are optional, but strongly recommended to make the most of your
investment. (See “System Programming Options” and “Telephone Programming
Options” later in this chapter for details.)
Setting the System Clock
After supplying power to the control unit, use the following procedures:
System Date (#101)
to set the month and day.
System Day (#102)
to set the day of the week.
System Time (#103)
to set the hour and minutes.
Assigning Lines
For initial setup only, use Number of Lines (#104) to specify the number of lines
that will be assigned to all system extensions. Then use the following
procedures as needed:
Dial Mode (#201) to identify any rotary lines (the default for all lines is
“touch-tone”).
Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines to specific extensions (if the line
was not assigned using the Number of Lines procedure), to remove lines
from some extensions, or to change the button used to pick up a line at a
specific extension.

Line Access Restriction (#302) to limit an extension’s access to a
specific line.
Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when a
line will start ringing at each extension that has the line. For additional
information on line ringing options, see “Programming a Receptionist’s
Extension” later in this chapter.
Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone Programming) to
specify the order in which the system tries to select an available line
(intercom or outside), when a user at the extension lifts the handset or
presses [
Spkr ] to make a call without first selecting a specific line button.
For extensions with standard phones, set Automatic Line Selection to
intercom first. This enables standard phones to access equipment
features, including intercom calling. When users lift the handsets on
standard phones, they hear intercom dial tone. To access an outside
line, they must dial 9.
