Idle States 6
You can begin some programming procedures only when all or part of the system
is not in use; this is called an
idle state
. The idle state must remain in effect until
you finish programming.
NOTE:
If a procedure requires an idle state, do it outside normal business hours.
If a procedure requires an idle state and an extension on the system is busy when
you begin, you see a screen like the one shown in Figure 6–6
. It changes to the
appropriate programming screen when the system is no longer busy.
Figure 6–6. Station Busy Screen
Table 6–4
explains the various idle states, including a description of each state
and the procedures that can be performed only during that idle state.
NOTES:
1. The table includes all the procedures that fall into each idle-state
category. Procedures that should be performed only by a Lucent
Technologies technician are noted.
2. When an extension is in programming mode, the system considers it
busy. Thus, to perform a backup, make sure that no telephone is in
programming mode.
OOOO = a previously entered extension
TTQQ = the slot and port number of the
busy extension
