About Surrogate Mode Programming

Surrogate mode allows qualified service personnel to perform system programming at an off-site
service location. The actual system hardware does not have to be installed -- the programmer
needs a power supply, carrier, processor, and a direct connection from the PC to the processor
module. By following a customer's set of completed planning forms, the system can be
programmed as if the appropriate modules, trunks, telephones, and other communications
equipment have been installed. When system programming is completed, a system backup is
performed to save the information on disk. This backup disk is then taken to the new installation
site and used with the Restore option to provide complete system programming for a new system.
