Programming Guidelines

Introduction

Once you have decided how you want the Attendant to work with your telephone system and have connected the Attendant to the system’s control unit, you are ready for programming. Programming modifies the Attendant and the system’s control unit so they work together correctly.

Two kinds of programming need to be done: Attendant Programming and PARTNER Plus System Programming. To program the Attendant, use any touch-tone phone that can dial [ ★ ] and [ # ] this means you can even do Attendant Programming when you are off site. On the other hand, System Programming must be done on site, using either an AT&T MLS-12D or MLS-34D display phone at extension 10, with the programming overlay placed over the buttons of the phone. (The overlay was packed with your control unit.)

Using the Programming Charts

The rest of the chapter provides charts showing all the programming procedures, starting with Attendant Programming and ending with System Programming.

If you are setting up the Attendant for the first time, or if you are completely reprogramming an Attendant, simply start with the first box of instructions and perform all programming procedures in the order in which they are presented.

If you need to change a particular setting—for example, to program new business hours or to have the Attendant pick up a new line—first enter program mode by following the instructions in the appropriate Programming Instructions box (page 2-6for Attendant Programming or page 2-10for System Programming), then go to the box that gives instructions for the particular setting. Settings that are commonly changed are summarized in Table 2-1.
