Programming the Database Using a System Administrator Endpoint
Page 31
Depending on the database changes made, the system may require a reset after programming.
If so, the system will prompt you for a reset and ask if it should be done immediately or
delayed. Delaying the reset may prevent interruption in service. However, if a reset is required
it should be done as soon as possible to permit proper system operation.
Entering Alphanumeric Information:
When entering alphanumeric information, such as a username, reminder message, or Do-Not-
Disturb message, press or
USE ALPHA MODE/USE NUMERIC MODE menu button to
switch back and forth between alphanumeric and numeric mode.
• In numeric mode, the dialpad buttons are used to enter numbers 0–9, the pound ( )
button is used for entering a hyphen (-), and the asterisk ( ) button is used for entering
a colon (:). For example, 1 00 would enter “1:00” in numeric mode.
• In alphanumeric mode, dialpad buttons are used to enter letters, numbers, and punctu-
ation. The number of times a button is pressed determines which character is entered.
For example, 533266 would enter “JEAN” in English. When adjoining characters are
located under the same button, press to advance to the next character. For
example, 66
6667776 would enter “NORM.”
See Table 5 to program information in alphanumeric mode. (Note that letters corre-
spond to the letters printed on dialpad buttons.) Japanese characters are available with
the standard Multilingual Support feature included in your software license. Japanese is
programmed as a Primary or Secondary Language, and the administrator endpoint is set
for Japanese.
* The Japanese characters are available only if the Multilingual feature is enabled and Japa-
nese is installed as the secondary language.
NOTICE
Possible interruption of calls in progress. When the system is Reset, all calls in
progress are dropped immediately.
