Enable Lines:
Before you can use the additional lines as a Mini-PABX, you need to activate
Lines by first entering the programming mode again (as above with
*# 0000
)
then you can “turn on” (activate) all line(s) by entering
0600#
(hear tone) then
after hearing the tone, hang up. To activate individual lines, use
0601#
(Line-1),
0602#
(Line-2)
0603#
(Line-3). Do not activate a line you do not have.
Note that you do not have to keep entering the programming-mode code, you
can do all in one step as follows:
*# 0000
(hear tone)
0601#
(hear tone)
0602#
(hear tone)
0603#
(hear tone), then hang up to finish the programming-mode
and default back to user-mode.
If you do not hear the tone (steady) but get 3-Beeps, then that means you have
mis-keyed the code, or hanging-up took you out of the programming mode, so
either press * and re-key the code, or * # 0000 to re-program.
Explanation:
In the above case, the programming is a simple code (
06
for Activate-Line) and
01, 02
or
03
to tell the system which line you want to activate (00 for all). The
#
is to tell the system that you have finished a particular programming sequence.
If you are NOT in programming-mode, when you key-in
0603
it will think you
are dialling a number starting with 0603, but when you press
#
it will complain.
No damage will be done if you do this, but nothing will happen either.
Basic Functions:
Depending on if you have more calls outward on the Exchange Line(s), or if
you call extensions more often, you set the Mini-PABX to suit your best need:
If you make more calls to Extension Phones, then you should accept that to dial
9 to get an outside line, will be best suited for you.
If you make more calls outward than you make to Extension Phones, then you
can have “Direct Dial Out” without the need to dial 9, would suit you best.
If you want all phones to be set to dial out directly, then after entering
programming mode again (
* # 0000
), key-in:
20#
If this command is entered, then all calls outward from all extensions will be
direct (just dial the number) but between phones on the system (intercom) you
will need to first prefix the phone extension number with Hash ( #
)
e.g.
When programmed to “Direct Dial”, if you want to call internally to (say)
extension 15 just pick up the receiver and dial
#
(hear tone)
15
(ring Ext-15)
