Understanding Programming - Nortel Modular ICS 6.0 Manual

Understanding programming

When your system is installed, your installer or customer service
representative programs it to work with your telephone lines,
with your private network, if you have one, and with optional
equipment. They customize the system for your office. All
programming is recorded in the
.
Record
You may want to further customize your system. For example,
you can change how some features work, or adapt the system to
changes in your office. Programming allows you to change
settings that probably need to be updated regularly because of
staff turnover or new business contacts. You can also assign
features and program buttons on individual telephones.
There are four ways to customize and maintain your Norstar
system:
• Initial programming is done for you by your installer or
customer service representative. It deals mostly with how
the system interacts with lines, telephones, and other
equipment.
• Your programming as a system coordinator changes how
features work for the system, as needed. It requires a
system coordinator password.
• A basic programming password is available to allow
individuals other than the system coordinator to make
changes without giving access to sensitive programming
capabilities.
• Personal programming is available to anyone through the
Feature button on their Norstar telephone. It allows
individuals to change how their telephone works to suit
themselves.
