Understanding Programming 3
This chapter provides general programming information for the communications
system and the voice messaging system. Both systems must be programmed
so they can work together as an integrated unit. Before you begin any
programming, you must ensure that all required communications system and
voice messaging system planning forms described in this chapter are
completed. You will refer to these forms during programming.

Communications System

Programming
When the communications system is installed, it uses factory settings that
reflect the most common usage of the equipment. You can change these
settings as required to customize them for the business.
You can program the communications system from extension 10. Some systems
also allow programming from extension 11. Check the Programming and Use
guide for the communications system for more information. If your system
supports programming from both extensions, you may find it more convenient
to program from extension 11. This capability allows the receptionist to continue
handling calls at extension 10 while you program.
System Programming changes settings for the system as a whole, or for
individual lines or extensions. (Refer to the Programming and Use guide for the
communications system for more information about System Programming
options.)
On some communications systems, a password may be required to enter
System Programming mode. Check the Programming and Use guide for the
communications system for more information.
