Alternatively, the receptionist can use an MLS-CA24 Intercom Autodialer for the extensions the receptionist disk most frequently. This leaves buttons on the phone free for more features and phone numbers.

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 2-21).

Telephone Models

Figure 2-5illustrates an MLS-34D, MLS-18D, MLS-12D/MLS-12, and MLS-6 phone. As you program buttons, mark their functions on the phone’s labeling sheet (see the examples in Figure 2-5).

NOTE:

An MLS-6 phone with 4 lines assigned to it has no buttons available for programming. The MLC-6 cordless phone looks just like an MLS-6 phone when you program it 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 telephone being programmed, including any System Programming settings and lines assigned to the phone. Make sure the programming phone is as large as the largest phone in the system, because an MLS-18D phone cannot program an MLS-34D phone and an MLS-12D phone cannot program an MLS-18D phone or an MLS-34D phone.
