Welcome To Your BBS Telephone System
You’ll fi nd that the user-friendly design of this IPS (Integrated Phone Solutions) system from
BBS and the clear, step-by-step instructions in this user guide will make it a pleasure to set up the
system’s features so that they best serve your offi ce.
This guide describes enhancements made to the IPS 308 and IPS 416 telephone systems as of the
Version 148 release of the software.
If you have a personal computer with Windows® (™ of Microsoft Corporation) installed, you
will want to use our confi guration program included with your system (See “IPS Confi guration
Program”, page
90).
Among the wealth of fl exible phone features built into the system, you can pick and choose the
one that suit your home or offi ce. As a fi rst step, browse through this user guide to get acquainted
with the various features available.
When your new unit arrives, all of the features are already programmed with default settings. In
some cases, these settings will be fi ne just as they are. With others, you will want to change the
settings. The instructions in this guide lead you through the simple step-by-step process of setting
each feature as desired.
Chapter 3 contains a list showing all of the default settings already programmed. Refer to this list
as you set up your system. It lets you see at a glance which features you will need to set. If desired,
you can easily return the whole system to all of its default settings at any time (see “Factory
Default Settings”, page
26).
We know you’ll enjoy getting to know and use your new phone system.
