OUTSIDE TELEPHONE

DIAL SIGNALS
Basic administration should take no more than a few minutes. All the
information you need should be on the System Configuration Form.
This simple procedure tells the control unit how many outside telephone lines
your system has.
But it works only if your outside lines are plugged into an
unbroken sequence of line jacks on the control unit beginning with line jack
A. The System Configuration Form shows the number of lines you have and
the control unit line jack for each line under the heading “Outside Telephone
Lines.
”
To set the systemwide line assignments, do the following:
1 Enter administration mode.
The
red lights
go on
next to
Administer
and
Restrict.
2
Dial
*4
plus the number of outside lines in the system.
(For example, dial
*43
for a system with three lines.)
3 Touch Administer.
The console beeps twice.
4
Continue to administer the system, or leave administration mode.
When you first turn on the system, the control unit thinks there are the same
number of outside lines in the system as there are line jacks on the control
unit. This causes the control unit to create “ghost’ lines in a system that has
fewer lines than line jacks. Since ghost lines can interfere with some system
features, you should eliminate them using the procedure described above for
designating the number of lines in the system.
Locate the column headed “Dial
Signals”on
the System Configuration Form.
Is the box next to “Touch-Tone” checked? If so,
yclou
don’t
have to do anything
here.
Your system is factory set to generate Touch-Tones when you dial an
outside call on any of your outside telephone lines.
But if the box next to “Rotary (Pulse)” is checked, you have to set the system
to generate rotary (pulse) signals when you dial outside calls.
Set the system
for pulse dialing as follows:
1 Enter administration mode.
The red
rights
go
on next to
Administer
and
Restrict.
2 Dial
*39.
NOTE:
If you ever have to reset the system for Touch-Tone dialing, dial
*38
instead of
*39
in step 2.
3 Touch Administer.
The console beeps
twice.
4
Continue with administration, or leave administration mode.
LONG DISTANCE DIALING
Locate the column headed “Long Distance Dialing” on the System
Configuration Form.
Is the box next to “Toll Prefix” checked? If so,
yolou
don’t
have
to do anything here.
Your system is factory set for this type of
long-
distance dialing: toll prefix (1 or 0) + area code + telephone number.
