Activating Programming Mode Using Star Key
All of the user programming commands begin with the ‘4’ or ‘5’ digit. In some installations, it
may be desirable to require that the user enter a ‘*’ key from the keypad of the phone before
entering one of these commands. This will prevent unintentional programming if a person dials a
phone number beginning with a ‘4’ or a ‘5’ but forgets to dial ‘9’ (or ‘0’) to connect to an outside
line. For instance, an extension could be accidentally placed in the Do Not Disturb mode or the
Day/Night setting could be changed. When this new parameter is set, dialing a ‘4’ or a ‘5’ without
fi
rst dialing a ‘*’ digit will give an error tone.
Note that telephone sets with rotary dials cannot dial a ‘*’ digit. Thus, this setting should not be
enabled if there are pulse dialing telephones connected to the system.
