Changing the System Clock 10
You may need to change the system clock for daylight savings time after a prolonged power
failure, or after a system reset. Use System Date (#101), System Day (#102), and System Time
(#103) to set the current date, day, and time.
Adding New Lines 10
How you add new lines to the system depends upon the type of extension you are adding them to.
Key Extensions 10
You can add individual lines to pooled extensions or add new lines to key extensions (all
extensions in Key mode; in Hybrid mode, extension 10 and any extensions set to Key using Line
Access Mode (#301) are key extensions).
If you add an outside line to your system, you may need to adjust some line settings:
■ Dial Mode (#201) if the new line is a rotary line
■ Line Assignment (#301) to assign the line to specific extensions
■ Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when the line starts ringing at
each extension that has the line
■ Line Access Restriction (#302) to limit an extension’s access to the line
■ The system automatically assigns the new line as the last line in the Automatic Line Selection
sequence. If you want to change the order, use Automatic Line Selection.
Pooled Extensions 10
You can add new lines to existing pools if your system is configured for Hybrid mode. To assign a
new line to a pooled extension as an individual line, use the features in “Key Extensions” above.
Do not use Number of Lines (#104) if you add lines to the system after initial setup
because it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction (#302),
Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for existing lines back to factory settings.
To add a new line without affecting other settings, use Line Assignment (#301).
