Overview

Initial System Setup
After you install the system hardware as described in Chapter 2, you can
customize the system control unit and telephones to meet the requirements of
your business. This chapter explains how to use programming to customize your
system.
There are two types of programming:
System Programming defines how the control unit will work with the
telephones and other devices connected to it. When the system is first
installed, it uses factory settings that reflect the most common settings,
which you can change as needed. The "System Programming Options"
section in this chapter explains your choices.
You program the system from extension 10, using an MLS-34D or MLS-12D
phone, with the appropriate programming overlay placed on top of the
phone.
System Programming procedures are identified by # and a three-digit code
(for example, System Date is #101). A complete list of programming
procedures, including brief descriptions and factory settings, is on the inside
back cover of this book. Descriptions and step-by-step programming
instructions are in the "System Programming Procedures" section in
chapter.
Telephone Programming further customizes the individual telephones in the
system. For example, you use telephone programming to define how the
phone at an extension will ring and to store calling features on the
programmable buttons of a system telephone, so that a user can access a
feature by pressing a single button.
Telephone programming can be performed in two ways:
From extension 10 using an MLS-34D or MLS-12D phone; this is called
Centralized Telephone Programming.
Users with system phones can also program their own telephones (this is
called Extension Programming).
For more details on programming telephones, see the "Telephone
Programming" section in this chapter.
When first installing the system hardware, you must perform the following
procedures to setup your system:
System Date (#101) sets the month, day, and year.
System Day (#102) sets the day of the week.
System Time (#103) sets the time of day.
