STARPLUS@ 616 FLEX
KEY TELEPHONE SYSTEM
SECTION 600
CUSTOMER DATA BASE PROGRAMMING
600.1
INTRODUCTION
The STARPLUS 616 FLEX Key Telephone System
can be programmed to meet each customer’s indi-
vidual needs. All programming is done at Station 10
(Port 01) using the Enhanced or Executive model
key telephone as the programming instrument.
A BASIC model telephone cannot be used.
Displays have been incorporated to aid in program-
ming, therefore it is strongly recommended that the
Executive telephone be used to make programming
easier.

NOTE
It is not required to have an RCU installed in
the system to view the programming dis-
plays
When the program mode is entered, the key tele-
phone being used no longer operates as a telephone
but as a programming instrument with all of the
buttons redefined. The keys of the dial pad are used
to enter data fields (program codes) associated with
system, station and CO line features. CO line but-
tons and station buttons are used to determine CO
line access, assign class of service, determine sta-
tion features, indicate stations, line group numbers,
CO line configuration, system features, toll tables,
etc.
At the time the system is installed it must be initial-
ized to load default data into memory. See Table
600.1 for default data. If this pre-programming suits
the customer, initialization is all that is needed.
Any time data is to be changed, the program mode
must be entered and then the individual data field
(program code). A data field can be entered to
determine current programming or to change a spe-
cific feature within that field.
During programming, the other key telephones in the
system operate normally. If a data field is entered
but nothing is changed, or changed but not entered
into memory (pressing HOLD), the previous data will
remain intact upon leaving that data field. Data fields
can be entered at random.
In many of the data fields, programming is sequen-
tial, i.e. upon completing the programming of one CO
line or one station, the next line or station will auto-
matically light up for programming. If no changes
are to be made in the next line or station, simply exit
the data field by either leaving the program mode
(pressing the ON/OFF button to OFF) or entering
another data field. This is done by pressing the
asterisk (*) and entering that program code.
When programming features, tones are provided to
help the programmer determine if a correct or incor-
rect entry has been made. A solid one second, tone
indicates the data was accepted. An interrupted
tone means an error was made. When this occurs,
re-enter the data field and try again. Until new data
is entered and accepted, the system will continue to
operate under default or previously entered values.
When the hold button is pressed to enter data, that
data will be stored in a temporary buffer area. Data
is not entered into system memory and has no effect
on telephone operation until the program mode is
exited. This is done by pressing the ON/OFF button
to OFF. Then the data in the temporary buffer is
copied into permanent memory. It is at this point that
programming affects telephone operation. Until the
programming mode has been exited, the system will
operate under default or previously programmed
data.
Some features must have more than one data field
programmed for that feature to work. Where this is
the case, it will be stated in the instructions.
600.2 CUSTOMER DATA WORKSHEETS
Before any attempt at programming is made, it is
strongly recommended that customer data work-
sheets be prepared. These worksheets should be-
come part of the permanent record of customer
programming. Refer to the following sections when
preparing the worksheets.
600.3 DATA BASE FIELDS
The data fields are used to set system timers, deter-
mine central office line features and key telephone
features. Table 600.1 lists the default values, which
are pre-programmed into the system, and the data
fields (program codes). When entering CO line data
and station data, be sure to enter the exact number
of digits specified. The data fields and features are
further described in the following paragraphs.
600.4 PROGRAM MODE ENTRY
Programming is always done at station port 01 using
either the Enhanced or Executive key telephone.
The Basic Telephone cannot be used for program-
ming. Programming is aiways done at this station
regardless of the class of service or intercom number
assigned to this station or which station has been
