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.
Hardware Considerations Programming procedures use line and extension numbers. The line number represents the line jack on a 206 or 400 module or an ACS processor module to which the outside line is connected. Similarly, the extension number represents the extension jack on a 206 module or an ACS processor module to which the system phone or standard device is connected.

Assigning Lines For initial setup only , use Number of Lines (#104) to specify the number of lines that will be assigned to all system extensions. Then use the following procedures as needed: Dial Mode (#201) to identify any rotary lines (the default for all lines is “touch-tone”).
Disallowed List Assignments (#405) to assign one or more Disallowed Phone Number Lists to the extension. Use Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) to create the lists of outside numbers that extensions cannot dial. Allowed List Assignments (#408) to assign one or more Allowed Phone Number Lists to the extension.
Changing Settings after Installation As your business grows or changes, you will probably need to change the way your system was originally programmed. This section provides some examples and lists the procedures you would use to change settings after installation. For specific details on a procedure, refer to the procedure name in Chapter 5.
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.
Restricting Access to Outside Lines A user can access a line either by lifting the handset, pressing the line button on the phone, or dialing the Direct Line Pickup feature code. If you do not want a user to access a specific outside line, you can use Line Access Restriction (#302) to control an extension’s access to a certain line (whether the line is assigned to the extension or not).
Controlling Calls on Outside Lines When an extension is allowed access to an outside line, you can use the following procedures to control calling: Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) defines the type of calls (inside only, local only, or inside, local, and long-distance) that users can make from all lines available at an extension.
Overriding Dialing Restrictions The following programming procedures provide ways to override all dialing restrictions, provided the user has access to an outside line: Emergency Phone Number List (#406) defines a list of up to ten numbers that can be dialed from any extension. A typical number is 911. Marked System Speed Dial Numbers are specially identified System Speed Dial numbers, which a user can dial by pressing a standard phone) followed by a three-digit code.
Setting Up Auxiliary Equipment The following programming procedures help you manage auxiliary equipment. See Chapter 4 for more information about auxiliary equipment configurations or refer to Chapter 5 for details on using the procedure: Fax Machine Extensions (#601) identifies extensions to which fax machines are connected.
Page 33
The call reporting device uses the following procedures: SMDR Record Type (#608) specifies the type of calls that you want to — record for call reporting—either all calls or outgoing calls only. SMDR Top of Page (#609) notifies the system that the printer has —...
To use the optional Backup and Restore features of the system, you must purchase a Backup/Restore PC Card from Lucent Technologies. Only these Lucent Technologies PC Cards can be used in the PARTNER ACS processor module. The same PC Card stores both automatic and manual backups separately.
Using System Programming System Programming changes settings for the system as a whole, or for individual lines or extensions. You can also use System Programming to set up dialing restrictions, define groups, or set up auxiliary equipment. Refer to the filled-out System Planner when you are changing system settings, and be sure that any changes in programming are recorded there.

Telephone Programming Options System telephones are ready to use when they are installed, but they can be customized to meet the needs of your business and individual users. This customization is accomplished through Telephone Programming . Automatic Line Selection When a user lifts the telephone’s handset or presses , the system chooses an idle line automatically.
Programming a Receptionist’s Extension Call Handling Options If you set up a centralized telephone answering position at extension 10, use the following settings to customize it: Immediate Call Answering. If the receptionist should answer all calls , use Line Assignment (#301) to assign all lines to extension 10. Set Line Ringing for all lines at extension 10 to Immediate Ring;...

Fax Management. A button (labeled Fax-30) is programmed as a Fax Management button for the fax machine connected to extension 30. The lights next to the button show what is happening at the fax machine (for example, red broken flutter indicates that the fax machine is not responding—for example when it is out of paper).
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 “Using Extension Programming” later in this section). Telephone Models Figure 2-6 illustrates a PARTNER-18D and Figure 2-7 illustrates a PARTNER-6 phone.
Using Centralized Telephone Programming Use Centralized Telephone Programming to program features or store telephone numbers for individual extensions from extension 10 or 11. Most features also can be programmed on a system phone at the user’s extension. Keep in mind the following exceptions: Automatic Line Selection and Line Ringing always must be programmed using Centralized Telephone Programming.
Dial the extension number of the telephone to be programmed. The green lights next to buttons on which lines are assigned show the current Line Ringing settings; remaining buttons can be programmed with telephone numbers, extension numbers, or system features. At this point, you can: Use Automatic Line Selection to change the order in which the telephone selects a line when the user picks up the handset.
Page 46
If a user has a standard phone or a non-display system phone, Extension Name Display for the extension can be programmed only by using Centralized Telephone Programming. To program at the extension, use the following procedure: f 0 0 To start programming, dial The green lights next to buttons on which lines are assigned for the extension show the current Line Ringing settings.

Learning About Telephones This chapter explains how system and standard phones work with the system, as well as combination extensions where more than one phone or standard device is installed. In addition, basic call handling features and dial-code features are listed at the end of this chapter.
Lights Each line button has a green light and a red light. The meaning of these lights varies, depending on whether the button is used to access an outside line, is programmed with a system feature, or is programmed for Auto Dialing an extension number (Intercom Auto Dial button).
Ringing Patterns System phones have these ringing patterns: An outside call will ring . . . ring . . . ring. An intercom call will ring BEEP . . . ring BEEP . . . ring BEEP . If you have a system display phone, the caller’s extension number (and name if programmed) will show on the display.
To turn off the microphone when you are using the speaker, press . This will mute your voice so the other party cannot hear you. Use the Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI) feature to answer voice-signaled calls without lifting the handset (see below). 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...
If the difficulty persists, lift your handset to continue the conversation. In conference rooms, a separate speakerphone (such as the SoundStation® from Lucent Technologies) is recommended, since the built-in speaker on a system phone is designed for individual use. Learning About Telephones...
Standard Telephones In addition to system phones, you can connect industry-standard touch-tone or rotary dial phones—and even some feature phones (which have built-in calling features)—directly to the system. You can also combine standard phones on the same extension with system phones or other devices, without using expensive adapters or connectors.
Ringing Patterns Standard phones have these ringing patterns: An outside call will ring . . . ring . . . ring. An intercom call will ring-ring . . . ring-ring . . . ring-ring . A transferred call, or an unanswered transferred or parked call that is ringing back, will ring-ring-ring .

dial out simultaneously, the ninth device will not get dial tone until one of the other eight finishes dialing. (PARTNER MAIL VS contains its own touch-tone receivers and does not require any from the system.) Also, because standard phones do not have system line buttons, feature buttons, or dedicated function buttons, basic call-handling procedures are sometimes different from those for system telephones.
Feature Phones A feature phone is a standard telephone that has feature buttons in addition to the regular 12-key dial pad. For example, there are feature phones that have programmable auto dial buttons, last number redial buttons, hold buttons, and built-in speakers.
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 Advanced Communications System Installation guide.) The following are examples of useful combination extensions: System phone plus standard telephone, for power failure backup on...
Page 60
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, 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.
Using Telephones Your system provides intuitive operation of basic call handling features, plus dial-code features that make it easy for users to handle calls flexibly and efficiently from both system and standard phones. For more information about a specific feature, refer to the feature name in Chapter 5.

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 66
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. Loudspeaker paging systems allow you to broadcast a message over a large area, by connecting the paging system directly to the PAGE jack on the processor module.
(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 the 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). It is useful 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...
Auto Attendant An auto attendant answers calls and directs them to a specified extension, Calling Group, or Hunt Group (based on the digits a caller dials after listening to a list of choices in a recorded greeting). For example, the auto attendant could answer calls and tell callers to press 1 for Sales, 2 for Parts, 3 for Service, and so on.
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 any 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 4-5. DATE TIME NUMBER...
For pickup calls: the extension picking up the call. — For forwarded calls: the extension answering the forwarded call. — Account Code. This is the account code (up to 16 digits) assigned to the call. This code typically is used for charging calls to a specific client, project, or department.
Contact Closure Devices The Contact Closure Adjunct plugs into a jack on the PARTNER ACS processor module and has two Contact Closures that can be used to control devices such as an electronic door lock (as shown in Figure 4-6) or an alert. The device being controlled must be wired to the Adjunct by an electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.
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 4-7). You can install the 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”...
Fax Machines This section suggests several ways you can set up fax machines to work with your system. It includes instructions for programming and using a Fax 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), and for transferring calls to the fax machine extension.
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 ..beep ..beep ). If you hear this, you should transfer the call immediately to the fax machine extension.
fax extensions. If you have multiple fax machines, put all of the fax extensions into a single Hunt Group (any group 1–6) using Hunt Group Extensions (#505). Restricting Dialing from a Fax Machine You can use dialing restrictions to restrict calling activity on a fax machine. For example, you can use Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to restrict the fax machine to local calls only.
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, 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.
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 4-10, 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 83
To Program Fax 2 (Receive—Ext. Y) Use Line Assignment (#301) to assign only line A to extension Y. If you want it to be able to dial out when fax 1 is unavailable, set Automatic Line Selection for extension Y to select outside lines first (line A selected last).
Modems There are several ways to use modems with your system, as described below. NOTE: 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 central office lines connected to the system.
Send and Receive Modem If you need to place and receive calls with the modem, use the setup shown in Figure 4-12. This setup makes line A the primary modem line, but keeps the line available for users at other extensions when all other lines are busy. Modem Line A Lines...
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 a Lucent Technologies answering machine with the Call Intercept feature, the answering machine drops off the call when you join it.
Programming Night Service with Auxiliary Equipment Use Line Assignment (#301) to assign only line A to extension X (for the fax machine to cover) and only line B to extension Y (for the modem to cover). Set Line Ringing for line A at extension X and for line B at extension Y to No Ring.
Voice Messaging Systems Two Lucent Technologies voice messaging systems are compatible with your system. You can install one or the other, depending on your business needs: The PARTNER MAIL VS Voice Messaging System, which physically resembles a 206 module, resides in the control unit.

AA Extensions (#607) Description This System Programming procedure lets you identify extensions where auto 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 auto attendant.
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 call rings only once. The green light next to the line 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 100
If the account code is not valid, you will hear a 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 101
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 Press the programmed Account Code Entry button or press f 1 2 If the Account Code Entry button has lights, the green light turns on.
Allowed List Assignments (#408) Description This System Programming procedure lets you assign up to eight Allowed Phone Number Lists to a specific extension. 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 104
Examples The examples below show how you would 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.
Answering Calls Description This section describes how users can answer calls ringing at their own extensions. Additional features enable users to pick up calls at other extensions—see “Related Features” below. Related Features A user can join a call in progress at another extension, as long as Privacy is not on for that extension (see Joining Calls).
Page 106
How to Answer Calls Ringing at Your Extension System Phone You can answer a call on any line that is ringing, or select a specific line if more than one is ringing: When the telephone is ringing, lift the handset. You are connected to the incoming call.
Page 107
Standard Phone If your standard phone has a button labeled “Recall” or “Flash,” use this button whenever you are instructed to press the switchhook. To answer a call: When the telephone is ringing, lift the handset. You are connected to the incoming call. To answer a call when you are already on a call (you hear a call waiting tone—two beeps): 1.
Auto Dialing Description Auto Dial buttons can be programmed only on system phones. This Telephone Programming procedure lets system phone users dial outside numbers, extension numbers, feature codes, or account codes with a single touch, by pressing a programmed button. If an extension number is stored on an Auto Dial button, the user can dial, signal, or transfer calls to the extension by pressing the button.
Page 109
For PBX or Centrex systems that require a dial-out code to make calls outside the PBX or Centrex system, include the dial-out code followed by one or more pauses (if available) on an Auto Dial button for a number outside the PBX or Centrex system. (See “Changing Settings to Support PBX or Centrex Services”...
Page 110
Using From a system phone, to dial an outside number or extension number (you can lift the handset or press , but you do not have to do so): If you want to call on a specific line, press the line button (or press and dial the two-digit line number).
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) Description This System Programming procedure lets you prevent a user from joining an active call at an extension.
