Initial System Setup

After installing the control unit, you set up the system using a combination of

system and telephone programming procedures. However, before you

program, you need to:

■

Compile a list of system extensions, along with the type of phone at the

extension, and identify the lines to assign to each extension.

■

Determine how your company’s receptionist will cover calls so you can

choose line ringing options for all employees (for advice see

“Programming a Receptionist’s Phone” later in this chapter).

■

Consider other programming options, such as Line Access Restriction, or

Outgoing Call Restriction (for advice see “System Programming Options”

later in this chapter).

Once you know how you want the system to work and the information is

recorded in the System Planner (available separately), you can program.

The programming procedures* you are most likely to use initially include:

■

System Date (#101), System Day (#102), and System Time (#103) to

set the current date, day and time.

Dial Mode (#201) to identify any rotary lines you may have in your phone

system.

Line Assignment (#301) to assign individual lines to specific extensions.

Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when

each available line will start ringing at an extension.

Line Access Restriction (#302) to limit an extension’s access to each

line.

Procedures to identify extensions with fax machines (#601), doorphones

■

(#604–#606), or automated attendants (#607).

Other programming procedures are optional, but strongly recommended to

make the most of your investment. (See “System Programming Options” and

“Telephone Programming Options” later in this chapter for details.)

Copy Settings

The recommended way to set up your system is to program one extension for

each type of phone in the system, and then use Copy Settings (#399) to

program other phones of the same type, thereby saving the time it would take to

program them individually. For example, you can program one MLS-12D phone

and then copy its settings to any other extensions that have MLS-12D phones.

(See page 3-17 for a list of the programmed settings that are copied.)

System Programming procedures are identified by a code (# and three digits); Telephone Programming

procedures are not identified by a code.
