Communications System

Communications system programing requires a system display phone at extension 10 (or 11 if available), with a programming overlay placed over the phone's dialpad. Programming procedures are identified by # and a 3-digit code (for example, the procedure code for System Date is #101).

• Direct Method. You access a programming procedure directly by dialing the code for that procedure. This method works best when you are using only a few procedures during the programming session, and you know the codes. For example, press to change the system date.
• Cycle Method. You cycle through a sequence of procedures in numerical order by pressing or . You should use this method when programming the communications system for the first time, or when you are changing a series of related settings. However, procedures #399, #609, and #728 are skipped when you cycle through procedures.
  
  

  Note:

  You can talk on the telephone while you program. This is useful if you need to call for support while programming. However, you must place the call before you enter programming mode, and you must use the handset (not the speakerphone) to talk.

The communications system can also be programmed using PC administration software. For more information, see PARTNER ACS Release 7.0, PC Administration, Getting Started, document number 518-456-166.
