System Programming IMI 66-083

PROCEDURE

1.Determine the system programming parameters, and record them for future reference.

2 . Turn on the AC power to the system and the VDT.

3 . Press the RETURN (ENTER) key. The system enters an approximate 20 second timeout cycle. Step 4 must be performed within this timeout period or the programming sequence will be aborted.

4 . Type the password: I % 7 4 6 t, and press RETURN (ENTER). The VDT will display the main programming menu. The system enters an approximate 3 minute timeout cycle. A selection or response must be entered within this timeout period, otherwise; the programming sequence is aborted.

5 . Execute the programming procedures by responding to the prompts listed in first the main menu and then in subsequent menus.

REMOTE PROGRAMMING

The telephone system can be programmed remotely using the following equipment:

-A VDT or a PC and appropriate software program,

-A pair of data modems.

The data modems can be any commercially available 300 or 300/l 200 baud type with auto-answer capability. Be sure to verify the auto-answer capability before purchasing the units. It is recommended that the same make and model of modem be used at both the installation site and the remote programming site.

INSTALLATION

The equipment connections at the customer location are as illustrated in Figure 4-3on page 4-80, Connect the equipment for remote programming as illustrated therein and discussed below.

Determine the signal needs of the modem from the user’s manual for it.

Wire the proper connector (to match the data jack) on one end of a length of multiline cable.

Punch down the appropriate leads on the connector block. Refer to Chapter 3 for connection details as needed.

Connect the network jack of the data modem to an outside telephone line. (If a line is not reserved for remote programming, a line switch can be installed so that an outside telephone line can be switched by on-site personnal between the data modem and the common equipment cabinet when remote programming is to be done.)

Refer to the user’s manual for the modem, and program the modem to automatically answer after the first ring.

Interface the VDT or PC with the modem at the programming site per the user’s manuals for the equipment be used.

OPERATION

To establish a communications link for programming the system from a remote site, proceed as follows:

If a line switch is being employed, call someone at the customer site, and ask that the switch be set for modem operation.

After the outside line is connected to the modem, the data link can be made between the originating and the remote modems.

Programming can then be performed from the remote site just as if the VDT or PC was connected directly to the system.

TYPICAL PC OPERATION

The following procedure is given as a typical example for using a PC and an XMODEM-type communications software program to program the telephone system. It is only provided for illustration and reference purposes and describes a set-up using a typical communications software program known as PROCOMM (produced by Datastorm Technologies, Inc.). Many other communications software programs are also available which can be used for this purpose. Individual operating procedures may vary with different communications software programs but the general process is similar to this.

1.Perform turn-on and program-load procedures. lf operating through modems, take action, as described in the previous discussion, to establish a communications link between the PC and the common equipment.
