Remote Feature Programming

REMOTE FEATURE PROGRAMMING

The Remote Programming feature allows a user to place a phone in Do-Not-Disturb mode

(DND) or forward the station’s calls, either from another station or through DISA. Each station

has a password to limit access to this feature. (See page 162 for information about DISA.)

In a network, Remote Programming can be performed on one node for any Inter-Tel phone that

is programmed as an off-node device on that node. You must go through DISA for remote pro-

gramming of any phones that are not programmed as off-node devices.

The station password is used only for the Remote Programming feature.

NOTE: To prevent unauthorized use of the call forward feature, all stations using Remote Pro-

gramming should have a password. To make the passwords difficult to guess, they should not

match the extension number or consist of one digit repeated several times.

The station password can be up to 8 digits in length. The default password is the extension

number of the station. The password can be changed by entering the Program Station Password

feature code at the station or when using the Remote Programming feature. It can also be pro-

grammed through Individual Station programming.

If the password is changed from a station, the user will be prompted for the old password, then

the new password, and will be asked to verify the new password. If it is programmed through

Remote Programming, the user will already have entered a correct password. In this case, the

user is prompted only for the new password and then asked to verify the password.

Should the verified password and new password not match, the old password will be retained

and the programming session canceled.

TO CHANGE THE STATION PASSWORD FROM YOUR STATION:

1. Enter the Program Station Password feature code (392). You hear a confirmation tone.

If you have a display, it shows ENTER PASSWORD.

2. Enter your current password, followed by #. (At default, it is your extension number.) If

you have a display, it shows NEW PASSWORD.

NOTE: If you enter an incorrect password, the display will show INVALID PASSWORD,

and your station will return to the idle state.

3. Enter the new password followed by . You hear a confirmation tone.

4. Enter the new password again for verification followed by . You hear a confirmation

tone. If you have a display, it shows PASSWORD SAVED. Your station returns to the

idle state.
