Display/Key Function

Complete a procedure. In a few cases, you return to the System Programming menu when you select Exit. In most cases, you return to an intermediate step within the procedure. You can then select one of the options shown on the screen and continue programming, or you can continue to use Exit until you return to the System Programming menu.

Idle States 6

You can begin some programming procedures only when all or part of the system is not in use; this is called an idle state. The idle state must remain in effect until you finish programming.

NOTE:

If a procedure requires an idle state, do it outside normal business hours.

If a procedure requires an idle state and an extension on the system is busy when you begin, you see a screen like the one shown in Figure 6–6. It changes to the appropriate programming screen when the system is no longer busy.

Station Busy - Pls Wait

DialCode: nnnn

S/P:ss/pp

nnnn= a previously entered extension

ss/pp = the slot and port number of the busy extension

Exit

Table 6–4 explains the various idle states, including a description of each state and the procedures that can be performed only during that idle state.

NOTES:

1.The table includes all the procedures that fall into each idle-state category. Procedures that should be performed only by a Lucent Technologies technician are noted.

2.When an extension is in programming mode, the system considers it busy. Thus, to perform a backup, make sure that no telephone is in programming mode.
