Lucent Technologies 4.1 manual Initial System Setup, Setting the System Clock

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

Key Extensions

Use this section to assign lines to key extensions (all extensions in Key mode; in Hybrid mode, extension 10 and any extensions set to Key using Line Access Mode (#313)) or to assign individual lines to pooled extensions.

For initial setup only, use Number of Lines (#104) to specify the number of lines that will be assigned to all key 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 select a line at a specific extension.

■Line Access Restriction (#302) to prevent an extension from receiving and/or making outside calls on specific lines.

■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.
