Programming Basics
Programming Procedures
The programming procedures provide step-by-step instructions for
programming the communications system. This section details how to make the
best use of the programming procedures.
Procedure Organization
The programming procedures in Chapter 3, “Common Administrative
Procedures” and Chapter 4, “Programming Procedures,” are organized into
logical groups. The programming procedures associated with a specific aspect
of the system are grouped together under one heading. For example, to assign
network services for PRI, you would go to the section titled “PRI” and then locate
the network services procedure. For quick reference, see “System Programming
Hierarchy” for a list of procedures, based on the menu hierarchy in Appendix B,
that traces the menu path for a specific function.
Procedure Content
Each procedure begins with a general description of the feature, followed by a
summary of programming information that includes the items listed below.
Programmable by Indicates who has permission to use the procedure.
Mode Specifies which system mode supports the procedure:
Key, Hybrid/PBX, Behind Switch, or a combination.
Idle condition Specifies the idle state required before the procedure can
be performed.
Planning form Indicates the planning forms that provide information for
the procedure.
Factory setting Shows the default settings, if any, for equipment or

Inspect Specifies whether or not the feature status can be verified
using the Inspect feature.
Copy option Indicates whether or not the feature programmed with the
procedure can be copied to another system component.
Console Procedure Provides a summary of the procedure steps using the
system console.
PC Procedure Provides a summary of the procedure steps using SPM.
This list is followed by the step-by-step programming procedure for the feature.
See “Using the Programming Procedures”ı for complete information about how
