Remote Programming

The system permits programming from a remote location using an auxiliary device called the Remote Administration Unit (RAU). Remote programming requires the installation of two RAUs—one at your site and one at the location from which the programming is to be done. For more information about remote programming, see the PARTNER Communications System Remote Administration Unit Installation and Use guide.

Telephone Programming Options

System telephones are ready to use when they are installed, but they can be customized to meet the needs of your business and individual users. This customization is accomplished through Telephone Programming.

Automatic Line Selection

When a user lifts the telephone’s handset or presses S, the system chooses an idle line or pool. Automatic Line Selection determines the order in which the system looks for an idle line or pool. You can set the system to look for lines or pools in any desired order. For standard phones or for any phone used mainly to call other extensions, select an inside (intercom) line first.

Extension Name Display

With Extension Name Display, users can assign a name (up to 12 characters long) to their extension. Then, when those users make an intercom call, group call, or transfer a call, their name and extension number appears on the display phone receiving the call. Similarly, users receiving a transfer return call see the name and extension number of the person assigned to the extension that did not answer the transferred call.

Line Ringing

Line Ringing defines when each outside line or pool rings at a phone. For each line or pool at an extension, you can specify Immediate Ring, Delayed Ring (phone rings after a 20-second delay), or No Ring. The factory setting for line buttons is Immediate ring; the factory setting for pool buttons is No Ring.
