Description
Extension Programming
2-280 Programming
Through programming, the system can be customized and updated to satisfy
the changing communications needs of the customer. System features are
assigned and changed, and lines/trunks and features are assigned to
telephones. The three types of programming are:
Extension Programming
Centralized Telephone Programming
System Programming
Table 2-2 at the beginning of this chapter provides a complete list of telephone
and system operator features, their programming codes, and the telephones on
which the features can be programmed. The table also shows which features
can be assigned only through centralized telephone programming.
The features described in this chapter include an Extension Programming
subheading, which contains the programming codes, feature codes, and MLX
telephone display labels. Also, the System Programming subheading describes
the system programming needed to activate the feature and the menu choices
required to reach the appropriate screen, beginning with the choice from the
System Programming menu.
Extension programming allows telephone users and system operators to tailor
their telephones to meet personal needs. Multiline telephone users can assign a
wide range of features to buttons on the telephone. In addition, many other
features can be programmed on both multiline telephones and single-line
telephones that do not require button assignment, such as Call Waiting.
Users can program their telephones by dialing programming codes or, on MLX
display telephones, selecting features from the display. When a telephone is in
the program mode, the system considers it busy; therefore, no incoming calls
ring at the telephone until it is back in the call-handling mode. See Appendix B,
"General Telephone Programming Instructions," for instructions on how to
program features on MLX, analog multiline, and single-line telephones.
