Programming

Overview

After you install the system hardware as described in Chapter 2, you can

customize the system and individual telephones to meet the requirements of

your business. This chapter explains how to use programming to accomplish

that.

There are two types of programming:

■

System Programming allows you to customize the system to meet the

needs of your business. When the system is first installed, it uses

factory settings that reflect the most common settings, which you can

change as needed. The “System Programming Options” section in this

chapter explains your choices.

You can program the system from either extension 10 or 11. Because

an extension cannot be in program mode and handle calls at the same

time, this flexibility allows you to program from extension 11 (the

backup programming extension) while the receptionist at extension 10

(the primary programming extension) continues to handle calls. An

MLS-34D telephone is required for programming if your system has

any MLS-34D telephones; if not, you can use an MLS-12D.

■ Telephone Programming allows users to customize their telephones

to meet their individual needs; for example, users can program calling

features onto phone buttons, or Personal Speed Dial numbers that can

be used only at the extension. You can program individual telephones

either from extension 10 or 11 using an MLS-34D or MLS-12D phone

(called Centralized Telephone Programming), or from a user’s own

extension using a system phone (called Extension Programming).

Detailed descriptions and step-by-step programming instructions are in the

“System Programming” and “Telephone Programming” sections later in this

chapter. Brief summaries of all programming procedures are on the inside back

cover of this book.
