System Programming 2
A primary function of SPM is to provide a method for programming the
communications system. The Sys Program option gives you access to all of the
system programming features available from the system programming console.
Basic Programming Information 2
To begin programming, you must perform one of the following to display the
System Programming menu on the MLX-20L console or PC:
In most cases, you can press
([LW or

to exit from a screen without making
any changes. Exceptions to this are noted as part of a procedure. When you
complete a procedure and press
([LW (

), you usually move up one screen in
the menu hierarchy. Occasionally, when you press
([LW (

), you return to the
previous screen.
In a few cases,
pressing
([LW
brings you back to the System
Programming menu, where you can select another option to program or exit from
system programming.
To complete a procedure and save the information you have programmed, press
(QWHU (

).
If you are programming a group of sequentially numbered extensions or trunks,
you may have the option of pressing
1H[W (

). This saves your entry and
automatically provides the number of the next extension or trunk in the sequence,
thus saving you a couple of steps. If
1H[W displays on the screen, you can use it
with the current option.
In most cases, you will be at an intermediate step in the procedure you have just
completed. At that point, you can select one of the options shown on the screen
and continue programming, or you can press
([LW (

) again. This usually takes
you back to the System Programming menu. If not, you again can continue
programming on the current screen or press
([LW (

) again.
Idle States 2
A few of the programming procedures can be started only when the entire system
or some part of it, such as a trunk or an extension, is idle (not in use). Some
procedures require that the trunk or extension be idle only at the instant of
programming. Other procedures, which take longer, require the system, trunk, or
extension to be forced to remain idle until programming is completed. These
procedures wait for the system, trunk, or extension to become idle and then
prevent the initiation of any new calls. This condition is called
forced idle.
