ENTERING AND LEAVING ADMINISTRATION MODE

Administration mode is an operating state of your control unit and of your
administrator/attendant console that is very different from their everyday state of
operation. With the system in administration mode you are able to set up or change
systemwide options or features. When you finish using the administrator/attendant
console to administer your system, you must leave administration mode to resume
normal attendant operations.
You must enter administration mode to set up a new system and again each time
you use the attendant console to administer your system. The boxed instructions
below tell you how to enter administration mode.
Entering Administration Mode
Switch A is located on the Processor Module (slot 2, color-coded purple)
of the control unit. Set Switch A to Administer (down).
Insert the administration mode button labels provided at the back of this
manual in the administrator/attendant console. Different sets are provided
for large and small systems.
If the light next to Message Status is on, touch it once to turn it off before
beginning to administer your system (large systems only).
Slide the T/P switch on the left side of the console to P.
Red and green lights start flashing next to the administration mode buttons
labeled Adm Pool, Adm Tel, Adm Misc, and Call Rstr.
When you finish administration procedures at the console, you must leave administra-
tion mode to resume normal operation. Do this when you complete your initial system
administration and whenever you complete any system changes in the future. The
boxed instructions below tell you how to leave administration mode.
Leaving Administration Mode
1. Slide the T/P switch to the center position.
2. Set switch A on the Processor Module of the control unit to Attendant (up).
3. Remove the administration mode button labels from the console and put
them in a safe place for use at a Iater time. Insert the regular call-handling
labels used by the attendant.
