Programming vs. Administration
PROGRAMMING
ADMINISTRATION
This section of the manual provides the information you need to program,
administer, and use the many MERLIN II system features available with your
system.
Throughout this manual are instructions for "How to Administer," "How to
Program," and "How to Use" the features of your MERLIN II system. Some
features require that you perform all three procedures, others don't need to
be administered, some don't require programming, and a few features do not
require any procedures for using them.
Programming is a procedure that affects only the individual telephone that's
being programmed. While a phone is being programmed, it cannot place or
receive calls. Individual phones can be programmed by the user or by the
system administrator using "Centralized Programming." (See "Centralized
Programming" in this section.) By programming their own phones, individual
users can select the features that help them in their jobs.
Programming Mode
To program a feature at a phone, you label an available button with the name
of the feature, such as "Last Number Redial," or a person's name, then put
the phone into programming mode. How you enter and leave programming
mode depends on whether the phone is an analog model such as a BIS-10,
BIS-22, or BIS-34 or a digital model such as the 7406D phone. Directions for
entering and leaving programming mode are provided under "How to
Program" for each related feature.
If your phone has a display, it shows you the features and options you
selected. See "Display" in this section for more details.
NOTE:
Phones in programming mode ring every five seconds to remind you
that you're programming and that you can't place or receive calls.
Remember do not lift the handset while you are programming.
Features that have to be administered can only be administered from the
MERLIN II System Display Console. In some cases when administering
features, none of the phones can make or receive calls while a feature is being
administered. Directions for entering and leaving administration mode are
provided under "How to Administer" for each related feature.
Administration Overlay
An administration overlay, packaged with the MERLIN II System Display
Console, shows the functions of the buttons when the console is in
administration mode. Place the overlay on the console before you enter
administration mode, and remove it when you have completed an
administration session. See Figure 3-1.
