Features
Programming
Call the remote PC with SPM from a telephone on the system, then
transfer the call to the control unit's built-in modem (*10)
Remote programming allows technicians to run diagnostic tests and to display
information needed to maintain the system. It is also used by Lucent Technologies
technical support organizations for installation and maintenance support.
Remote system programming overrides onsite system programming unless an
onsite backup or restore procedure is taking place. If onsite system programming
is being performed when a remote connection is attempted, the system sends a
message to the programmer that a remote connection has been established and
the current onsite programming session is terminated.
If remote system programming is to be done over loop-start lines, the lines should
be set to reliable disconnect. Otherwise, a line could be seized indefinitely.
System Programming Screens
The system programming console display and SPM screen present step-by-step
prompts throughout programming. Three different types of screens appear on the
console display and SPM screen:
Menu Selection Screens. Allow selection of menu options. After making a
selection, either a more detailed menu screen or a data entry screen is
shown.
Informational Screens. Show currently programmed information.
Changes cannot be made to these screens.
Data Entry Screens. Allow identification information (such as an extension
number or line/trunk number) or values (such as number of seconds or
rings) to be entered.
The menu hierarchy—the sequence of menu screens that appears as different
options are selected from menus during system programming—is shown in
Appendix
System Programming Reports
System programming reports are available when Print Opts is selected from
the System Programming menu. These reports can be directed to the SMDR
printer or a printer connected to the PC used for system programming. In addition,
Print Opts allows you to direct reports to the PC, so you can use the Browse
option to read reports on the PC screen. See
E, ''System Programming Menu Hierarchy."
