PARTNER® Advanced Communications System
Form E: Instructions for System Configuration: Default Settings
QUESTION 1: LINES PER EXTENSION:
For the PARTNER ACS processor or 308EC module, the default setting assigns 3 lines to each extension.
For the 206 module, the default setting assigns 2 lines to each extension.
For the 400 module, the default setting assigns 4 lines to each extension.
For the 1600 DSL module, the default setting assigns 16 lines to each extension (R4).
For the 012E module, the default setting assigns 0 lines to each extension (R5).
For the T1 module, the default setting assigns 16 lines to each extension (R6).
QUESTION 2: SYSTEM PASSWORD:
The default setting is “No Password.” If a password is desired, this password will be required to override dialing restrictionsand to turn Night Service on and off.
QUESTION 4: RINGS BEFORE THE TRANSFER RETURNS:
By default, a transferred call rings 4 times before it goes to the transfer return extension. If preferred setting is different than 4, write in the preferred number of rings. (Options are 1 through 9).
QUESTION 8: POOL VS. KEY:
Most PARTNER customers operate their lines in KEY mode. This mode works well for customers with a minimum number of incoming lines (that is, less than 5). In Key mode, the selected lines will show up as distinct buttons on each user's phone. The user can view the buttons to determine which lines are in use, and which are open before initiating a call. In HYBRID mode, some of the lines are pooled together. This pooling is transparent to the user. For instance if 3 lines are pooled under the company's main number, up to 3 users can select the button marked with that number before the pool is busy. This mode is appropriate for companies requiring a lot of lines.
If you wrote POOL in this box, see Form F5. Pooling is only available for PARTNER ACS R2.0 or later. By default, the system is configured for KEY mode.
QUESTION 9: HOLD REMINDER TONE:
By default, the PARTNER system will provide a reminder tone for a call on hold for 60 seconds. If the preferred setting is different from 60 seconds, circle the setting you want to use. (If you do not want the PARTNER system to provide Hold Reminder Tone, select “NotActive.”)
QUESTION 10: T1 LINE
If you will use a T1 line with the PARTNER system, circle “YES,” and see the PARTNER ACS T1 Module Planning Forms (Forms G1, G2, G3, and G4.) A T1 line is only available for PARTNER ACS R6.0.
