Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

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. When the system is first installed, it uses factory
settings that reflect the most commonly used options. You can change
system settings as needed.

You can perform System Programming from either extension 10 or 11.
Because an extension cannot be in programming mode and handle
calls at the same time, consider using extension 11 for programming.
Doing so gives you the ability to program without disrupting call
handling by the receptionist at extension 10.

Telephone Programming allows telephones to be customized to meet
individual users’ needs. Individual telephones can be programmed either
from extension 10 or 11 (Centralized Telephone Programming), or from a
user’s own extension using a system phone (Extension  Programming).

A system display phone is required for System and Centralized Telephone
programming. If you have any 34-button phones in the system, you must use a
34-button display phone to program since an 18-button phone  cannot be used
to program a 34-button phone. Also, if your system has both PARTNER-model
and MLS-model phones, it is recommended that you use a PARTNER-model
display phone at the programming extension.

The system permits programming from a remote location using a Remote
Administration Unit—see “Remote Programming” later in this chapter.

This chapter provides general information on programming procedures. When
a specific feature name is used, it is printed in bold type. For detailed
descriptions and step-by-step instructions, refer to that name in Chapter 5.
(Brief summaries of all programming procedures are at the end of this book.)
