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 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 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.
The system permits programming from a remote location using a Remote
Administration Unit—see ‘‘Remote Programming’’ on page 2-22.
This chapter provides general information about programming procedures. When
a specific feature name is used, it is printed in bold type. For detailed descriptions
and step-by-step instructions, refer to that name in Chapter 5. (A Programming
Quick Reference
is provided at the end of this guide.)
