This section covers basic system programming information. See System
Programming for more information.
Types of Programming
Listed below are the three types of programming available for the
communications system.
System Programming. This type of programming enables the system
manager to program features that affect all or most system users, and
requires one of the following:
— An MLX-20L™ telephone connected to one of the first five jacks of
the first MLX module in the control unit.
— A PC with System Programming and Maintenance (SPM) software.
SPM emulates a system programming console on your PC. The PC
should be connected to the lower port (labeled ADMIN) on the
processor module. A PC with a modem can perform system
programming remotely through the public network or by
connecting to a tip/ring extension jack (012 or 008 OPT module) on
the communications system. A built-in modem in the processor
allows the PC and the communications system to communicate.
Extension Programming. This type of programming enables
individual telephone users and system operators (except for QCC
operators) to change their telephone features to meet individual
needs. For details about extension programming, see the appropriate
user and operator guides.
