Important Safety Instructions WARNING: The following list provides basic safety precautions that should always be followed when using your telephone equipment: Read and understand all instructions. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product. Unplug all telephone connections before cleaning. DO NOT use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Page 11
Overview Features and Capabilities The following list provides an overview of the system’s features: Full line of system phones, some with displays showing date, time, and programming and feedback messages. All system phones can provide access to multiple outside lines and system features. Two modes of system operation for ease in accessing outside lines: individual lines can be assigned one per button or multiple lines can be grouped together and accessed using a single button.
Or, you can purchase a Magic on Hold® system from Lucent Technologies, which does not require you to obtain such a license. Lucent Technologies disclaims any liability arising out of the failure to obtain such a license, if required.

Control Unit The control unit is the heart of the system; it is made up of one or two carriers, and it houses the system modules. You can use either the primary carrier, or the primary carrier and the expansion carrier if you need more lines and extensions.
System mode is determined by the configuration of the processor module. By default, the system is configured for Key mode. Changing to Hybrid mode requires modifying the processor module. Only Lucent Technologies Authorized Personnel can modify the processor module to accommodate Hybrid mode.
Page 16
Key Mode When the system operates in Key mode, individual outside lines are assigned to users’ extensions for making and receiving calls. At extensions with system phones, each individual line (Line 1, Line 2, Line 3, etc.) assigned to the extension is represented by its own line button.
Page 17
A major benefit of Hybrid mode is that it allows users who have system phones with fewer buttons to have access to multiple outside lines and various types of pools. You can make efficient use of outside lines by grouping those of a similar type or function together.
Telephones System Telephones This guide refers to Lucent Technologies telephones specifically designed to work with the system as system phones. These include the PARTNER-34D, PARTNER-18D, PARTNER-18, PARTNER-6, MDC 9000, and MDW 9000 telephones. You can also use MLS-34D, MLS-18D, MLS-12D, MLS-12, MLS-6, and MLC-6 system phones, although they are not discussed in this guide.
This guide refers to such telephones as standard phones. Lucent Technologies-certified standard phones are recommended. The following Lucent Technologies phones can make use of the system’s message waiting capability: 2500 YMGL Single-Line Analog Telephone Set...
It must be non-proprietary. That is, it cannot be made specifically for use on a particular telephone system. (For example, you cannot connect a Lucent Technologies MERLIN® system phone because it is specifically designed for use on a MERLIN system.) Its Ringer Equivalence Number (REN ) cannot be greater than 2.0.

Programming Overview After the system hardware is installed, you can customize the system and individual telephones. This chapter explains how to use programming to accomplish that. There are two types of programming: System Programming allows you to customize the system to meet the needs of your business.
Page 24
Hardware Considerations Programming procedures use line and extension numbers. The line number represents the line jack on a 206 or 400 module to which the outside line is connected. Similarly, the extension number represents the extension jack on a 206 module to which the system phone or standard device is connected. For each 206 module, the system assigns two lines and six extensions;...
Initial System Setup After the control unit is installed, you set up the system using a combination of system and telephone programming procedures. In this guide, System Programming procedures are identified by a code (# and three digits); Telephone Programming procedures are identified by the feature name only. Use the System Planner as a guide when programming.
Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify the order in which the system selects an available line (intercom or outside), when a user at the extension lifts the handset or presses [ Spkr to make a call. For extensions with standard phones, set Automatic Line Selection to intercom first.
Customizing Extensions In addition to line or pool assignments, the following procedures can be used to customize an extension: Line Coverage Extension (#208) to identify an extension as the “owner” of a specific outside line. A user at the extension can activate Call Coverage or VMS Cover for the specified line.
Copy Settings The recommended way to set up your system is to program one extension for each type of phone in the system, then use Copy Settings (#399) to program other phones of the same type. For example, you can program one PARTNER-18D phone, then copy its settings to any other extensions that have PARTNER-18D or PARTNER-18 phones.
Pooled Extensions Use this section if your system is configured for Hybrid mode to add new lines to existing pools. To assign a new line to a pooled extension as an individual line, follow the procedures in “Key Extensions” on the previous page. If you add an outside line to your system for use in an existing pool, use Dial Mode (#201) if the new line is a rotary line and Pool Line Assignment (#207) to add the line to an existing pool.
Changing Settings to Support PBX or Centrex Services This section applies only if you use PBX or Centrex services with your system. If it does not apply, go to the next section, “System Programming Options.” PBX services are provided by a private telephone switch. Centrex services are provided by your local telephone company from a Central Office (CO) outside your premises.
System Programming Options This section discusses programming options that involve multiple procedures (such as dialing restrictions and auxiliary equipment settings), as well as features that can be used throughout your system (such as Speed Dialing). You can use a combination of programming procedures to set up your system to operate most efficiently, taking into account your company’s telephone service, personnel, and equipment, as well as the special needs of particular departments.
N O T E : If Forced Account Code Entry (#307) is programmed for an extension, that extension is required to enter an account code before dialing an outside number—even those on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) —on all of the lines or pools assigned to that extension.
Summary Tables 2-1 and 2-2 summarize the available dialing restrictions and permissions, showing how they can be combined in a variety of ways to customize an extension’s dialing privileges. Table 2-1. Settings that Restrict an Extension’s Access to a Specific Line or Pool Setting for Line Assignment Type of Restrictions or Setting for Line Access...
Setting Up Groups of Extensions You can set up four types of extension groups: Pickup Group Extensions (#501) assigns extensions to one of four Pickup Groups. A Pickup Group lets any user in the system answer calls for any extension in that group. Calling Group Extensions (#502) assigns extensions to one of four Calling Groups.
Page 35
AA Extensions (#607) identifies extensions to which PARTNER Attendants are connected. This lets the system notify users with display phones when they are receiving a call that has been transferred from the PARTNER Attendant. Also, Transfer Return Extension (#306) lets you identify the extension to which a call transferred by the PARTNER Attendant should be routed if the destination extension does not answer.
– Transfer Return Extension (#306) identifies the extension to which a call transferred by the voice messaging system should be routed if the destination extension does not answer and does not have voice mail coverage active. (The transfer return extension for the voice messaging system is typically extension 10.) N O T E : If an extension has VMS Cover and Call Coverage active, intercom and...
During System Programming, the normal functions of several buttons on the display phone at extension 10 or 11 change. For example, the left [ Intercom button becomes [ ] and the right [ ] button becomes System Program Intercom ]. The Programming Overlay identifies these buttons. Central Tel Program You use the following special buttons while programming: ] and [...

To enter programming mode, press [ ]. A display similar to the Feature following appears: PROGRAM EXTENSION 10...
Changing Programming Type When you are in programming mode, you can move between System Programming and Centralized Telephone Programming. To change to Centralized Telephone Programming when you are in System Programming, press [ ]. To move back to System Programming when you are in Central Tel Program Centralized Telephone Programming, press [ ] then [...
Personal Speed Dialing Personal Speed Dial numbers are outside phone numbers that a user dials by pressing [ ] (or [ ] on a standard phone) plus a two-digit code. Unlike Feature System Speed Dial numbers, which are available to all users in the system, Personal Speed Dial numbers are available only at the extension for which they are programmed.
Backup Answering Options If you want to program backup answering features to assist the receptionist in handling calls, consider the following features: Automatic System Answer. Useful during peak calling periods to answer outside calls while the receptionist is busy on other calls. When activated, this feature answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings and plays a customized greeting.
Page 44
Manual Signaling. A Manual Signaling button (labeled MS-Bill) is programmed to signal the target extension. When the button is pressed, the user at the target extension will hear a tone for as long as the button is pressed. This feature is typically used by a receptionist to alert the boss of an important incoming call when the boss is already on a call.
Using Telephone Programming There are two ways to program a telephone: Centralized Telephone Programming from extension 10 or 11 (see below) and Extension Programming from a user’s own extension (see page 2-26). Telephone Models Figure 2-6 illustrates a PARTNER-18D phone set up as a key extension and Figure 2-7 illustrates a PARTNER-6 phone set up as a pooled extension.

Dial Tones You will encounter two different dial tones when calling with a system phone: Outside dial tone is generated by your local phone company to indicate that you are connected with an outside line. Intercom dial tone is generated by the system to indicate that you are connected with an inside line.
Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI) When you receive a voice-signaled intercom call, your phone beeps once to indicate that your speaker has been turned on automatically, and you hear the caller’s voice over your phone’s speaker. If you leave your microphone on all the time, you can start talking when you hear the caller, without lifting the handset.
Speakerphone Performance Tips The speaker on your system phone has a sensitive sound-activated switch. Room acoustics and background noise can affect the proper operation of the speakerphone. To ensure that your speakerphone works effectively, follow these guidelines: Avoid placing your phone in areas with high background noise caused by loud voices, radios, printers, copiers, typewriters, other noisy office equipment, and heater and air conditioning fans.
To use a system feature, press [ ] (in place of [ ] used on system Feature phones) followed by its two-digit code when you hear intercom dial tone. For features that use [ ] on system phones, dial only the two-digit Intercom code when you hear intercom dial tone.
Dial Tones Standard phones have two different dial tones: Outside dial tone is generated by your local telephone company to indicate that you are connected with an outside line. Intercom dial tone is generated by the system to indicate that you are connected with an inside line.
Because there are no line buttons on standard phones, users must use Direct Line Pickup—Idle Line to select a specific idle line. Otherwise, the system selects an idle line automatically when the user dials a 9 at intercom dial tone. (For information on Automatic Line Selection, see Chapter 5.) Similarly, because there are no pool buttons on standard phones, users must dial pool access codes at intercom dial tone to request access to an idle pooled line (see “Making Calls”...
Combination Extensions A combination extension is an extension with two devices connected to it—either two standard devices, or a system phone and a standard device (but not two system phones). (For instructions on how to install a combination extension, see the PARTNER II Communications System Installation guide.) The following are examples of useful combination extensions: System phone plus standard phone, for power failure backup on extensions 10, 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, 46, and 52...
While on a call on a standard phone, you can use the system phone’s dialpad and fixed-feature buttons to handle calls. For example, you can use the system phone to select a specific outside line or pool, and conduct the call on the standard phone. Or, if someone is on a call using the standard phone, someone else can put that call on hold by pressing ] on the system phone.
Dial-Code Features Dial-code features are features that you access by dialing a feature code at the telephone dialpad. From a system phone, you can press [ ] or [ Feature Intercom followed by the two- or three-digit code (or press a programmed Auto Dial button);...

Using Auxiliary Equipment Overview There are many ways to set up auxiliary equipment—the setup you choose depends upon your needs and the number of devices you have. This chapter presents some common setups. (It does not cover how to physically connect the equipment, or how to program the features.
Page 67
The system supports up to two Lucent Technologies PARTNER Doorphones or any number of Lucent Technologies Universal Doorphones. Universal Doorphones offer a door unlock feature and can be installed in addition to PARTNER Doorphones.
(such as a doorphone) are installed in a location other than the building where the control unit is installed. The system supports the Lucent Technologies IROB protector, which provides coverage for up to 3,000 feet (915 meters) for standard devices and 1,000 feet (305 meters) for system phones.
If you have a Lucent Technologies answering machine with the Call Intercept feature, you can pick up a call that has been answered by the answering machine by joining the call from any system phone.
Single Answering Machine The single answering machine setup (Figure 4-1) serves the entire system. The answering machine is connected to its own extension, and can cover all the lines in the system, or as many lines as you assign to it. You can install an answering machine on an extension by itself, or combine it with a system phone or a standard phone on the same extension (see “Combination Extensions”...
Multiple Answering Machines If a single answering machine cannot handle all your calls, you can set up two or more machines at different extensions (Figure 4-2) so that a call does not go unanswered. If one answering machine is busy, a second call will be answered by the second machine.
Personal Answering Machine A personal answering machine is used to answer all the calls that ring at a certain extension (Figure 4-3). This setup is useful in both Key and Hybrid modes for the following situations: When you do not want to dedicate an extension to an answering machine When the extension receives a lot of intercom calls When outside calls come through a receptionist and are transferred to the extension...
Call Reporting Devices (SMDR) SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording) is a call reporting feature that provides records of call activity. Call reporting information provides you with the ability to: Detect unauthorized calls Bill clients or projects Bill back by department Reduce telephone costs by identifying the need to change telecommunications services (like adding a WATS line for calls to a particular area code)
Call Reports A call report is a page of information that begins with a header. The header includes field names that describe the information in each call record. The call record is a line of information that includes the fields shown in Figure 4-4. TALK DATE TIME...

For redirected incoming calls, the last extension on the call is shown on the report, as follows: – For transferred incoming calls: the destination extension. – For transferred outgoing calls: the originating extension. –...
Inside (intercom) calls are not recorded. If you place a call on hold and the caller hangs up, the call is considered complete and the record is sent to the call reporting device. Conference calls appear as two outside calls. (This means that two records are generated on the report.) Output Format The following RS-232 serial transmission protocol is used for SMDR records:...
Credit Card Scanners Many retail businesses and restaurants use credit card scanners to get instant approval of credit card purchases. The system allows your credit card scanners to share the lines in your system (as shown in Figure 4-5). You can install a credit card scanner on an extension by itself, or combine it with a system phone or a standard phone on the same extension (see “Combination Extensions”...
Management button on a system phone (in order to monitor the status of a fax machine and transfer calls to it with a single touch), transferring calls to the fax machine extension, and using a Lucent Technologies fax machine’s Notify feature.
Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine There are two situations in which you would want to transfer a call to your fax machine: You answer an outside call and hear a fax machine signaling. (A fax signal is a single beep sequence— beep .
Program the fax machine to dial [ ] [ ] to make its recorded announcement over your loudspeaker paging system and the speakers of idle system phones in Calling Group 1. For all of these examples, program the fax machine extension’s Automatic Line Selection to select intercom first, followed by whatever outside lines or pools you want to assign to it.
Single Fax Machine The single fax machine setup (shown in Figure 4-6) is good for moderate traffic. The fax machine has its own line (line A), the number of which is published as the fax number. (The fax line can be used by other phones when all other lines are busy.) The fax machine is connected to its own extension (extension X).
Fax Line Saver If you do not use your fax machine enough to justify paying for its own outside line, you can put the machine on its own extension. With this setup, you must transfer calls to it manually. If you have programmed a Fax Management button, you can transfer a call to the fax machine with a single touch, as well as monitor the status of the fax machine (see “Fax Management Feature”...
Send and Receive Fax Machines If your business has high-volume fax traffic, you can set up two fax machines, one that only sends and the other that only receives. For example, in Figure 4-8, fax 1 is the send machine, fax 2 is the receive machine. Line A is the fax line, the number of which is published as the fax number.
Page 84
Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension, Pickup Group Extension (#501), Calling Group Extension (#502), Night Service Group Extension (#504), or Hunt Group Extension (#505). To monitor the fax machine at extension X, use Fax Machine Extensions (#601) to identify extension X as a fax extension and program a Fax Management button by programming the fax machine extension number on an Auto Dial button.
Modems There are several ways to use modems with your system, as described below. N O T E : Modems can connect directly to an extension jack without an adapter. However, if you connect a high-speed modem through the control unit, you may experience some degradation of efficiency and throughput, depending on the quality of the outside lines connected to the system.
Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned. Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension, Pickup Group Extension (#501), Calling Group Extension (#502), Night Service Group Extension (#504), or Hunt Group Extension (#505). Set the auto answer feature of the modem to Off.
Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned. Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension, Pickup Group Extension (#501), Calling Group Extension (#502), Night Service Group Extension (#504), or Hunt Group Extension (#505). Night Service with Auxiliary Equipment You can set up modems, fax machines, and answering machines to receive calls automatically after hours.
Page 88
NOTE: If answering machines are connected to Night Service extensions, you can join a call that was already answered by an answering machine from any system phone. If you have an answering machine with the Call Intercept feature, the answering machine drops off the call when you join it. To Program If extensions X and Y are key extensions, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign only line A to extension X (for the fax machine to cover) and only...
PARTNER Attendant The PARTNER Attendant answers calls and directs them to a specified extension, Calling Group, or Hunt Group (based on the digits the caller dials after listening to a list of choices in a recorded greeting). For example, the PARTNER Attendant could answer calls and tell callers to press 1 for Sales, 2 for Parts, 3 for Service, and so on.
Page 90
To Program If your system is configured for Hybrid mode, use Line Access Mode (#313) to change extension X from Pooled to Key. Use Line Assignment (#301) to assign all the lines to extension X that you want the PARTNER Attendant to cover. Set Line Ringing for all lines assigned to extension X to Delayed Ring.
Voice Messaging Systems Two voice messaging systems are compatible with your system. You can install one or the other, depending on your business needs: The PARTNER MAIL Voice Messaging System is an auxiliary device that connects to the system through extension jacks. The PARTNER MAIL VS Voice Messaging System, which physically resembles a 206 module, resides in the control unit.

Feature Reference Overview This chapter provides reference information for programming and using system features. Features are listed in alphabetical order. System Programming procedures include the procedure code (# and three-digit number) in the heading; dial-code features include the feature code (F for [ ] or I for Feature ], plus a two- or three-digit code).
Page 99
This chapter gives step-by-step instructions, using the following conventions: Programming instructions tell you to use the [ ] button to change Next Data values for specific settings. You can, however, enter a value using the dialpad if you prefer. Similarly, there are different ways to exit programming mode as described in Chapter 2—use the method with which you are most comfortable.
AA Extensions (#607) Description This System Programming procedure lets you identify extensions where PARTNER Attendants are connected to the system. Doing so lets the system notify users with display phones when they are receiving a call that has been transferred from the PARTNER Attendant. (This procedure applies only to PARTNER Attendants—do not use it with the Automated Attendant Service of a voice messaging system.) Related Features...
Abbreviated Ringing (#305) Description This feature applies only to system phones. This System Programming procedure activates or deactivates Abbreviated Ringing at the system phone at a specific extension. When a user is on a call and Abbreviated Ringing is active, any incoming calls ring only once. The green light next to the line or pool button flashes until the call is answered or the caller hangs up (or for a transferred call, until it returns to the transfer return extension).
Account Code Entry (F12) Description This feature can be used only from a system phone. This feature lets a user enter an account code (up to 16 digits) for an outside call (incoming or outgoing). An account code typically is used to identify a department, project, or client for charge-back or tracking purposes.
Page 103
] after entering the account code. If the account code is not Feature valid, you will hear denial tone. The Lucent Technologies Call Accounting Terminal uses less than 16 digits for an account code. Refer to the device’s documentation to determine the maximum digits supported.
Page 104
To enter or change a forced account code: From a system phone, if a password is programmed for the system, you must enter it before lifting the handset. (See System Password (#403) for more information.) Lift the handset or press [ Spkr Press the programmed Account Code Entry button or press [ Feature...
Allowed List Assignments (#408) Description This System Programming procedure lets you assign up to four Allowed Phone Number Lists to specified extensions. Related Features You must use Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407) to create the lists of allowed telephone numbers before you use this procedure. Valid Entries 1 = Assigned to extension 2 = Not Assigned to extension...
Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407) Description This System Programming procedure specifies telephone numbers that users can dial regardless of other dialing restrictions, as long as they have access to an outside line. For example, if you restrict an entire category of calls through Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404), you can permit calls to a specific number in that category by placing that number on an Allowed Phone Number List.
Page 107
Examples The examples below show how to enter telephone numbers for an Allowed Phone Number List in Step 4 of “Programming.” When an Allowed List is assigned to an extension, users can dial numbers on that list, even if the numbers would otherwise be restricted.
