Using Telephone Programming

There are two ways to program a telephone: Centralized Telephone Programming from extension 10 or 11 (see below) and Extension Programming from a user’s own extension (see page 2-26).

Telephone Models

Figure 2-6illustrates a PARTNER-18D phone set up as a key extension and Figure 2-7illustrates a PARTNER-6 phone set up as a pooled extension. As you program buttons, mark their functions on the phone’s labeling sheet (see the examples in Figures 2-6and 2-7).

NOTE:

A PARTNER-6 phone only has four buttons available for lines or pools. If four lines are assigned, it has no programmable buttons. If the main pool is assigned, it has two programmable buttons. The MDC 9000 and MDW 9000 phones look just like a PARTNER-6 phone when you program them centrally.

Using Centralized Telephone Programming

Use Centralized Telephone Programming to program features or store telephone numbers for individual extensions from extension 10 or 11. Most features also can be programmed on a system phone at the user’s extension. Keep in mind the following exceptions:

■Automatic Line Selection and Line Ringing always must be programmed using Centralized Telephone Programming

■If a user has a standard phone, Personal Speed Dial Numbers for the extension can be programmed only by using Centralized Telephone Programming.

■If a user has a standard phone or a non-display system phone, Extension Name Display for the extension can be programmed only by using Centralized Telephone Programming.

During Centralized Telephone Programming, the display phone at extension 10 or 11 takes on the characteristics of the telephone being programmed, including any System Programming settings and lines assigned to the phone. 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. Also, if your system has both PARTNER-model and MLS-model phones, it is recommended that you use a PARTNER-model display phone at the programming extension.
