System Programming
General Programming Information
Perform configuration programming from station port
10 or station port 12. The system will not accept
programming commands from any other station port in
the system. For best programming results, employ an
LCD speakerphone. While you can install any
non-LCD digital telephone and use it for programming,
visual feedback of the programming operations will not
be available. Configuration programming from station
port 10 or 12 is unlimited as to the features that you
can program using it. Usually you perform this
procedure when you first place the system into service.
ti Always keep the handset of the LCD speakerphone
on-hook while programming the system. Plus, you
must be sure that the system is not in the night
transfer (of ringing) mode of operation when you
program it.
Alternately, you can petform programming using a
customer-provided Video Display Terminal (VDT) with
an RS-232 compatible, serial interface. VDT
programming is completely menu driven and easy to
follow. It is arranged somewhat differently from station
port programming categories to facilitate menu usage.
VDT programming is discussed in the Chapter 4
procedure titled video Display Terminal fmgnmming.
You can find a complete diccussion of VDT
programming in publication lMl66-094, Djgital

Manual
Prior to taking any programming action, determine the
desired parameters and requirements. Record this
data on the class of service programming reference
charts located at the end of Chapter 4.
You can program a group of lines or stations to have
the same configuration as one that you have already
programmed. This block programming feature
eliminates the need to individually program every line
or station that requires the same configuration.
After you have completely installed a telephone
system for the first time or if a system that you
previously installed has been turned off and placed out
of service for a period of time (several weeks, for
example), perform a master clear programming
procedure before placing it into service. If you plan to
perform a master clear procedure, perform it first
before performing 6ny other programming procedure.
The master clear procedure, clears all memory
locations of any unwanted data that may be stored
there. It also clears any previously programmed data,
such as autodial numbers and defaults all class-of-
service conditions. Therefore, never perform a master
clear procedure on an existing installed system unless
data loss and COS default are acceptable. Refer to
the information provided in the procedure titled Master
Clearfor programming details
The system provides time and date information for
display on LCD speakerphones. After installing,
checking out, and master clearing a system, set the
system clock with the current date and time
information using the procedures provided in the
procedure titlted System Configuration. You cal also
use the configuration programming procedures to set
certain attendant features (as also discussed in the
System Attendant’s Guide) that affect day-to-day
operations such as: system clock setting, system
speed dial, night transfer of tinging, music on hold,
LCD messages, station names, and SMDA reports.

ramming Overlays
The literature pat ge with the system includes
programming overlays for use in identifying the
buttons required for programming. The overlays fit
over the buttons of the programming station. A full
size copy of available programming overlays are
included at the end of this chapter for use as needed.
Supporting DigiTech Telephones With
A Revision Letter Of I And Later
There are several items that you need to consider
when installing the revision I and later DigiTech
telephone to the digital telephone system. These
items are detailed below.
d While the system software cartridges (product code
Snnnn) with software release 11 A and later supports
the use of all DigiTech telephones regardless of their
revision letter, any systems with a software release of
9 or earlier will not support the revision I and later
telephones. In other words, whenever a system
includes revision I or later telephones, be sure that the
system software cartridge has a software release
revision of 11A or later.
ti Always program station ports to provide ringing line
preference to revision I and later DigiTech telephones
(and to all Impact telephones) that are connected
there. This action is necessary before the orange LED
feature can become active. The orange status light
indicates a ringing line to distingush it from lines that
are in use or on hold.
