PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation, Programming, and Use

Using System Programming

System Programming changes settings for the system as a whole, or for individual lines, pools, or
extensions. You can also use System Programming to set up dialing restrictions, define groups, or
set up auxiliary equipment. Refer to the filled-out System Planner when you are changing system
settings, and be sure that any changes in programming are recorded there.

Programming Overlays

To do System Programming, you place a Programming Overlay over the dialpad of the system
display telephone at extension 10 or 11. (Overlays are provided with the system documentation.)

During System Programming, the normal functions of several buttons on the display telephone at
