Figure 1–7. Data Entry Screen
A data entry screen prompts you to enter specific data or to make specific
choices. Data to be entered will be displayed with
n s in the text. When n s appear
on the data entry screen they indicate data currently programmed for the
feature. An exception is the slot/port number which is displayed as
sspp to
distinguish the 2-digit slot number from the 2-digit port number.
Many screens show data entered on a previous screen, such as an extension or
trunk number. Within the programming procedures, this type of variable
information is shown with
x
’’s.
When information to be entered varies in the number of digits required (for
example, a telephone number that can range from 7- to 20-digits), the data may
be displayed as an uppercase
X or N .
Data entry screens may also contain menu selections. Instead of entering data
from the dialpad, you select options on the screen, such as
Yes
or
No
, to enable
or disable a feature. To select this type of option, you press the unlabeled
display button next to the option name, or the function key that corresponds to
the option name. Then your selection is highlighted. To program or save the
highlighted selection, you press the unlabeled display button next to
Enter
(

on the PC).
