System Programming 8
A primary function of WinSPM is to provide a method for programming the 
system. The Sys Program option gives you access to all of the system 
programming features available from the system programming console. 
Basic Programming Information 8
To begin programming, you must perform one of the following to display the 
System Programming menu on the MLX-20L or 4424LD+ console, or on the 
PC:
In most cases, you can click 
 (Back) to exit from a screen without making 
any changes. Exceptions to this are noted as part of a procedure. When you 
complete a procedure and click 
 (Back), you usually move up one screen in 
the menu hierarchy. Occasionally, when you click 
 (Back), you return to the 
previous screen. In a few cases, clicking 
 (Back) brings you back to the 
System Programming menu, where you can select another option to program 
or exit from system programming.
To complete a procedure and save the information you have programmed, click 
 (Enter).
If you are programming a group of sequentially numbered extensions or trunks, 
you may have the option of clicking 
 (Next). This saves your entry and 
automatically provides the number of the next extension or trunk in the 
sequence, thus saving you a couple of steps. If Next displays on the screen, 
you can use it with the current option.
In most cases, you will be at an intermediate step in the procedure you have 
just completed. At that point, you can select one of the options shown on the 
screen and continue programming, or you can click 
 (Back) again. This 
usually takes you back to the System Programming menu. If not, you again can 
continue programming on the current screen or click 
 (Back) again.
