Programming Voice Terminals for
Office Priorities
Your system comes ready to use with certain custom features assigned to the voice terminals. The illustrations on pages 63 through 65 show these initial feature assignments for all voice terminals (except attendant consoles) in both square and pooled systems. (Initial feature assignments for attendant consoles appear on pages 85 and 86.) Initially, all button labels on voice terminals are blank, so make sure all the buttons on the voice terminals are properly labeled with any initial features retained and any additional features assigned. You may wish to give voice terminal users a copy of the Voice Terminal Configuration Form.
The people in your business can customize their voice terminals by changing initial custom feature assignments to suit their needs. Alternatively, you can program in- dividual voice terminals from the administrator/attendant console, using Centralized Voice Terminal Programming.
Most of the custom features are designed primarily for the convenience of the per- son using them, but some have a broader application because they affect the call- ing patterns of your business. These features include Automatic Line Selection, Pro- grammable Line Ringing, Call Coverage, and Line Pickup. Because these features have a businesswide influence, you may want to assign them yourself or oversee their assignment.
This section begins with a discussion of how to use Centralized Voice Terminal Pro- gramming, followed by descriptions of the procedures listed in the chart below.
