Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

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).

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. As you
program buttons, mark their functions on the phone’s labeling sheet (see the
examples in Figures 2-6 and 2-7).

A PARTNER-6 phone only has four buttons available for lines or pools. If four
lines are assigned, it has no programmable buttons. If the main pool is
assigned, it has two programmable buttons. The MDC 9000 and MDW 9000

phones look just like a PARTNER-6 phone when you program them centrally.

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

If a user has a standard phone, Personal Speed Dial Numbers for the
extension can be programmed only by using Centralized Telephone
Programming.

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.

During Centralized Telephone Programming, the display phone at extension 10

or 11 takes on the characteristics of the telephone being programmed, including

any System Programming settings and lines assigned to the phone. 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.
