Using a Second Programming Extension
You may want to connect an MLS-34D, MLS-18D, or MLS-12D telephone to
extension 11 for system and telephone programming. Using a second
programming extension gives you the ability to program without disrupting call
handling by the receptionist at extension 10.
Using Telephone Programming
There are two ways to program a telephone: Centralized Telephone
Programming from extension 10 or 11 (see below), and Extension Programming
from a user’s own extension (see page 2-19).
Telephone Models
Figure 2-5 illustrates the system telephone models: MLS-34D, MLS-18D,
MLS-12D, MLS-12, MLS-6, and MLC-6. As you program buttons, mark their
functions on the phone’s labeling sheet (see the examples in Figure 2-5).
NOTE:
An MLS-6 phone with 4 lines assigned to it has no programmable buttons, The
MLC-6 cordless phone looks just like an MLS-6 phone when you program it
centrally.
Using Centralized Telephone Programming
Use Centralized Telephone Programming to program features or store
telephone numbers for individual extensions from extension 10 or 11.
Automatic Line Selection and Line Ringing must be programmed using
Centralized Telephone Programming; all other features can be programmed on
a system phone at the user’s extension. If a user has a standard phone,
Personal Speed Dial numbers for the extension can be programmed only by
using Centralized Telephone Programming.
During Centralized Telephone Programming, the display phone at extension 10
or 11 takes on the characteristics of the telephone being programmed, including
any System Programming settings and the lines assigned to the phone. Make
sure the programming phone is as large as the largest phone in the system,
because an MLS-18D phone cannot program an MLS-34D phone and an
MLS-12D cannot program an MLS-18D. When you enter Centralized Telephone
Programming, green lights appear next to any line buttons that are already
assigned.
To program a phone from extension 10 or 11, use the following procedure:
1.
Place the Programming Overlay over the dial pad of the system display phone
at extension 10 or 11—see “The Programming Overlays” earlier in this
chapter for more information.
2.
To start programming, press [ Feature ] [ 0 ] [ 0 ] [ System Program ] [ System Program ]
[ Central Tel Program ].
