Changing Settings and Adding Lines, Pools,
and Extensions
As your business grows or changes, so do your needs for your PARTNER ACS. As you upgrade to
newer releases, you must program for new features. As you expand, you can add lines, pools, and
extensions to your system.
If you replace a module with a different type, be sure you check the telephone and line
connections and verify system and telephone programming. In many cases, you may need
to rearrange the connections and/or change telephone or system programming.

Changing System Settings

If you are upgrading to PARTNER ACS Release 1.1 or 2.0 or later from an earlier release by using
the PC Card upgrade, all of your system programming settings are converted to work with the new
release. However, you may want to consider some additional programming for the features that are
new in Release 2.0 or Release 3.0 (see
CAUTION:
Remove all other PC Cards from the processor before initiating an upgrade.
For more information on using the PC Card Software Upgrade, see

Messaging PC Card Installation, Programming, and Use.
Changing the System Clock
You may need to change the system clock for daylight savings time after a prolonged power failure,
or after a system reset. Use System Date (#101), System Day (#102), and System Time (#103)
to set the current date, day, and time.

Adding New Lines

How you add new lines to the system depends upon the type of extension you are adding them to.
Key Extensions
You can add individual lines to pooled extensions or add new lines to key extensions (all
extensions in Key mode; in Hybrid mode, extension 10 and any extensions set to Key using Line
Access Mode (#301) are key extensions).
