4-2 Centralized Programming - AT&T MERLIN LEGEND Release 2.0 System Programming Manual

Centralized Telephone Programming
C e n t r a l i z e d P r o g r a m m i n g
Centralized Telephone Programming enables the system manager to program
any feature that can be an programmed by individual telephone user or system
operator onto any telephone in the system. All features programmable at a
individual telephone level can be programmed using Centralized Telephone
Programming. There are also some features that can be programmed only by
using centralized programming:
B a r g e - i n
Handset Hang Up
Intercom buttons-all types (Key and Behind Switch only)
System Access buttons-all types (Hybrid/PBX only)
All programmable features are described later in this section.
To perform Centralized Telephone Programming, the system manager can use
the system programming console described in Chapter 1 or a PC with SPM
software as described in Chapter 2.
In Release 2.0 or later versions, the system manager can speed the
programming of several telephones, which are alike (ail analog or all MLX), by
programming an extension and using the programmed extension as a template
for programming additional extensions. See "Extension Copy" later in this
section. Also refer to the planning forms used to plan the Extension Copy
feature.
NOTE:
Some programming can be performed only when the entire system or some
part of it, such as a trunk or an extension, is idle (that is, not in use or not in
use at the instant of programming). See" Idle States" in Chapter 1 for more
information.
