3. Preparing to Program
Before entering the system program features, take some time to look over the different options for setting
up an extension as the System Manager.
3.1 Designate an Extension for System Manager
All programming functions in this manual must be performed from the programming extension. Initial
programming of the Phone Line Manager 16 x 4 system must be done from extension #15. This extension
should be assigned to the person who will program the system and serve as System Manager for the office.
The default programming extension is preset as extension #15. You have the option of changing it to
extension #00. This would be handy, for example, if the Operator is at extension #00 and you want the
Operator to also serve as the System Manager.
To change the programming extension to #00:
1. At the System Manager’s extension, lift the handset and enter 7832. Pause for confirmation tone.
Hang up or continue programming.
To set the programming extension to #15:
1. At the System Manager’s extension, lift the handset and enter 7833. Pause for confirmation tone.
Hang up or continue programming.
3.2 Choosing the Programming Mode—Automatic or Password
With the default settings, the System Manager is required to enter a 6-digit password from their extension
to place the Phone Line Manager 16 x 4 in the Programming Mode. The password is entered by dialing the
code 761, followed by a 6-digit password. (The default value of password is 123456.) In this mode, the
System Manager can enter any programming codes. The password requirement prohibits unauthorized
persons from changing the programming. It can also reduce the likelihood of accidental changes in the
configuration.
If you want to, you can remove the password entry requirement. This is useful for installations where
security is not an issue. It is, however, strongly suggested that the password be used so that an accidental
dialing sequence does not alter the system programming. For instance, if the System Manager forgets to
dial 9 (or 0) to make an outgoing call and then dials a number sequence beginning with a 7, they could
be accidentally entering a programming command.
To allow programming without the entry of a password:
1. At the System Manager’s extension, lift the handset and enter 7849. Pause for confirmation tone.
To require the entry of a password to enter Programming Mode:
At the System Manager’s extension, lift the handset and enter 7848. Pause for confirmation tone.
