Basic Administration

 

Basic administration should take no more than a few minutes. All the

 

information you need should be on your System Configuration Form.

DIAL SIGNALS

Locate the column headed "Dial Signals" on the System Configuration Form.

 

Is the box next to "Touch-Tone" checked? If so, you don't have to do anything

 

here. Your system is factory set to generate Touch-Tones when you dial an

 

outside call on any of your outside telephone lines.

 

But if the box next to "Rotary (Pulse)" is checked, you have to set the system

 

to generate rotary (pulse) signals when you dial outside calls. Set system for

 

pulse dialing as follows:

 

1

Enter Administration Mode.

 

 

The red lights go on the steady next to Administer and Restrict.

 

2

Dial *39

 

3

Touch Administer.

 

 

The console beeps twice.

Continue with administration, or leave administration mode.

Reversing the Procedure

LONG DISTANCE

DIALING

If you ever have to reset the system for Touch-Tone dialing, follow the above procedure, but dial *38 instead of *39 in step 2.

Locate the column headed "Long Distance Dialing" on the System Configuration Form. Is the box next to "Toll Prefix" checked? If so, you don't have to do anything here. Your system is factory set for this type of long- distance dialing: toll prefix (1 or 0) + area code + telephone number.

But if the box next to "Area Code Only" has a check, you have to set the system for this type of long-distance dialing (area code + telephone number) as follows:

1Enter administration mode.

The red lights go on steady next to Administer and Restrict.

Reversing the Procedure

SYSTEMWIDE LINE

ASSIGNMENTS

2Dial *37.

3Touch Administer.

The console beeps twice.

4Continue to administer the system, or leave administration mode.

If you ever have to reset your system to toll-prefix dialing, follow the above procedure but dial *36 instead of *37 in step 2.

This simple procedure tells the control unit how many outside telephone lines your system has. But it works only if your outside lines are plugged into an unbroken sequence of line jacks on the control unit beginning with line jack A. The System Configuration Form shows the number of lines you have and the control unit line jack for each line under the heading "Outside Telephone Lines."
