4.1 Introduction
4.1.1

Software Modes

When the Maintenance Console is started, it enters Initial mode. From here, you can choose to enter either
Batch mode or Interactive mode to program the PBX.
• Batch mode
Batch mode allows you to create new system data files, and make modifications to system data
files stored on your PC, without being connected to the PBX. When you connect to the PBX, the
modified data will be uploaded at one time. To enter Batch mode, select an option from the File
menu.
• Interactive mode
Interactive mode allows you to directly modify the system data and settings stored in the PBX's
memory from a PC that is connected to the PBX. This mode displays the system data that is
currently being used by the PBX, rather than the system data stored on the SD memory card. Data
can be modified and results displayed in real time. To enter Interactive mode, select an option from
the Connect menu.
Note
In Initial mode, the only other option that can be accessed is 4.4.6 Tool—System data Convert.
