System-wide settings 

There are some settings that you enable or disable for the entire system, and these 
settings effect every user. You may want to look over the various System 
Parameters screens and decide which settings best meet the needs of your users. 

To see a list of the different types of parameters that control your system, type 

and press 

HELP

. You can change some of these 

parameters yourself. Type 

 and press 

HELP

 to see 

which types of parameters you can change. In some cases, a Lucent representative 
is the only person who can make changes, such as to the 

System Parameters 

Customer-Options

 screen. 

This chapter offers a few examples of how you establish these system-wide 
settings. The 

Screen reference

 contains explanations of each of the system 

parameters screens, and how to use them. 

You can modify the system parameters that are associated with some of the system 
features. For example, you can use the system parameters to allow music to play if 
callers are on hold or to allow trunk-to-trunk transfers on the system.

Generally, Lucent sets your system parameters when your system is installed. 
However, you can change these parameters as your organization’s needs change. 
For example, let’s say that you are told that the number of rings between each 
point for new coverage paths should change from 4 to 2 rings.

To change the number of rings:

1. Type

and press 

RETURN

.

The 

System Parameters Call Coverage / Call Forwarding

 screen appears.
