STN EXTENSION menu
button.
If programming an endpoint:
Press

When a valid number is entered, the circuit information is displayed. Press
again to continue.
Enter a partial number: Enter a partial extension number, then press ,
the high end of the
Volume button, or the ACCEPT menu button. The display
shows the extension number, username, and circuit number of the endpoint
that most closely matches the partial extension number. Press or

Scroll through the numbers: To scroll through the extension number list,
press the high end of the

UPDATING DATABASE for four seconds and then DATA-
BASE UPDATED. (Or, to cancel your entry, press or CANCEL. The dis-
play shows

Although the system begins to update the database when you press or
ACCEPT, it may take longer than the four-second display to change the
extension in the system, especially in a large or busy system.
Press or
ACCEPT again to exit to the ENTER SYSTEM OPTION prompt.

ACCEPT.)
