To program the APS Custom, call in to the unit. All recording hardware isresident on
P o rt 1 and the system transfers any programming requests initiated from Port 2 to Port 1.
If the request is initiated from Port 2, but Port 1 is busy, the system responds with a series
of wait and press messages, instructing you to press “1” to continue waiting.
NOTE: After the security password is entered, the unit stops handling
calls on the idle port. The outbound port (Port 3) will finish
processing all messages and pages currently in queue. The wait
and press messages continue until this process is complete.
To ensure secure and accurate programming, it is recommended that programming only
occur when inbound calls are not expected or when the system is idle.
During initial system setup, it is recommended that both Announcement number 1 and all
