Changing Settings after Installation

As your business grows or changes, you will probably need to change the way

your system was originally programmed. Here are some examples:

Changing the System Clock

You may need to change or reset the system clock for daylight saving time, after

a prolonged power failure, or after a complete system reset. To change the

system clock, use the following procedures:

System Date (#101) to set the month, day, and year.

■

System Day (#102) to set the day of the week.

■ System Time (#103) to set the hour.

Adding New Lines

If you add an outside line to your system after installation, use one or more of the

following procedures:

■

Dial Mode (#201) to identify the new line as rotary or touch-tone.

Line Assignment (#301) to assign the line to specific extensions.

Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when

the line will start ringing at each extension that has the line.

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

■

NOTE:

Do not use the Number of Lines (#104) programming procedure if you add new

lines to the system because the procedure changes Line Access Restriction

(#302), Automatic Line Selection, Line Ringing, and Hold Disconnect Time

(#203) for existing lines back to factory settings.

Adding New Extensions

If you add an extension to your system after installation, use one or more of the

following procedures. Note that you can use Copy Settings (#399) to copy the

settings of an existing extension to the new extension.

■

Line Assignment (#301) to assign specific lines to the extension.

Line Access Restriction (#302) to restrict the extension’s access to a

line for placing or receiving calls.

Display Language (#303) to specify the language (English, French, or

Spanish) to appear on a system display phone.

Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) to prevent other extensions with

the same line from joining a call at the extension. This feature is also

useful for extensions connected to a modem, fax, or credit card

scanner—any device whose function can be disrupted by someone

trying to join it. (To program Privacy onto a button of a system phone,

so Privacy can be manually turned on and off, see “Telephone

Programming Procedures” at the end of this chapter.)
