DESCRIPTION
CONSIDERATIONS
1 Enter administration mode by sliding the T/P switch to P.
2 Press Conference twice.
The administration menu appears.
3 Press
[System], [Type].
4 Press the appropriate button for the preferred type of system:
For a square system, press
For a pooled system, press
For a behind switch system, press
The message "System is Re-starting" appears, followed by the administration menu.
5 Go on to another procedure, or leave administration mode by sliding the T/P switch to
the center position.
When the system is first set up, you must specify whether the system is
square (nonpooled), behind-switch, or pooled. See also "Type of System" in
Section 2, "System Components."
If the system is pooled, you must specify the method used to access line
pools: Button Access, Dial Access, or Automatic Route Selection (ARS).
If the system has Button Access to Line Pools, people press a button to get a
line in a pool.
If the system has Dial Access to Line Pools, people press a Pool Access
button and then dial the appropriate line pool code to get a line in a pool.
If the system has Automatic Route Selection (ARS), the system
automatically selects an administered route for each outside call that
people make using a Pool Access button.
If you change the system type at a later time, you erase all system line
administration and phone programming. You will then have to reassign
all lines and reprogram all phones.
If you change the system from Button Access to Dial Access to Line Pools,
or vice versa, the system automatically assigns a different function to the
two buttons above Intercom-Voice. If you change the system to Button
Access, the main pool (default Pool 9) is automatically assigned to the two
buttons above the Intercom buttons. If the main pool was previously
assigned to any other button on that phone, it is automatically removed.
