Overview

Most of the dialing features can be used without programming them on buttons.

APARTNER 6-button phone with

4 lines assigned to it has no programmable buttons.

PARTNER telephones are ready to use when installed. However, just as the system can be programmed to meet your business’s needs, the phones can be programmed to meet users’ needs.

Individual users can program their own phones. In addition, you can program any phone on the system from extension 10. Programming from extension 10 is called centralized telephone programming, the topic of this chapter. Centralized telephone programming provides an easy way to customize phones for users. Of course, any time users need to reprogram their phones, they can do so directly at their own phones. For instructions on programming at the phone itself, see the System Manager’s Guide or the Quick Reference Card.

Through centralized telephone programming you can program the following:

Automatic Line Selection identifies the order of lines that the user is connected to when he or she lifts the handset. Line Ringing Options defines how the lines at each phone ring. You can program these two features only from extension 10; individual users cannot program them at their own phones.

Quick Dial Numbers include Personal Speed Dial and Auto Dial numbers. Personal Speed Dial numbers are phone numbers that the user can dial by pressing [ Feature ] and a 2-digit code assigned during programming. Unlike System Speed Dial numbers, Personal Speed Dial numbers are available only at the phone on which they are programmed. Auto Dial numbers are programmed onto a button for one-touch dialing.

Dialing Features include a variety of useful features such as Privacy and Loudspeaker Paging. Through telephone programming, you can put these features on the programmable buttons of PARTNER phones to give users one-touch access to the feature.

During centralized telephone programming, the PARTNER display phone at extension 10 takes on the characteristics of the telephone being programmed. These characteristics include the telephone model (MLS-12D, MLS-12, and MLS-6), the lines assigned to it, and any system programming for that extension. The only characteristic extension 10 does not take on is the display. When you program a phone without a display, display messages still appear on the display at extension 10.

You can program Auto Dial numbers and dialing features on programmable buttons and unused line buttons, as shown in figure 4-1.When you enter centralized telephone programming mode, green lights appear next to used line buttons. The rest of this chapter gives detailed descriptions and instructions for centralized telephone programming. As you program, keep in mind the following:

■The Privacy and Do Not Disturb features require buttons with lights. They

are noted by a

in the instructions.

■If you program a feature on an unused line button and later assign a line to that button, the programming is erased.

■As you program buttons, mark their functions on the labeling sheet provided with the user’s phone (see figure 4-1).
