5. PROGRAMMING CO LINES
If you are programming an existing database using PC-DBA, be sure to upload the current switch database to your
laptop using a RECEIVE ALL command before making your changes. This way, you will be working on the cus-
tomized database and will not have to reprogram all the custom settings. (If you are programming a brand new
database from scratch and are not using any templates, you can ignore this step.) See Section 2.1.4.3,
F3 – Receive
for further details.
To program the CO lines, perform the following tasks for each line. Note : The DX-80 provides you with a
shortcut to use when programming CO lines. You can program one or more “baseline” CO lines whose setups you
want to use for other CO lines, and then copy the baseline setups to those other lines. For further details on using
this shortcut, see Section 3.1.1, Using a Database Programming Template.
1. Assign the CO line to a tenant group.
2. Assign the CO line to a pickup group.
3. Assign the Day classification for the CO line.
4. Assign the Evening classification for the CO line.
5. Select the MOH source for the CO line.
6. Assign the dial type this CO line.
7. Assign the CO line type.
8. Enable/disable call abandon.
9. Set up privacy for this CO line.
10. Set up the CO ring type.
11. Assign the answer position for Day and Evening modes for this CO line.
12. Set up Time Switching.
13. Set up Pre-Defined Call Forward for this line.
14. Set up the PBX code for line group 1-8.
15. Set up the hunt method
16. Set up the alternate CO group.
17. Set up Fax detection.
While you are programming in PC-DBA, the system saves your changes in the working directory residing on the
laptop. While it may appear that you have re-programmed the switch, the system does not update the switch
database with your changes until you perform a SEND command from the laptop.
For further details on the SEND command, see Section 2.1.4.4, F4 – Send .
CAUTION
If PC-DBA is set to U-Save, your database changes reside only on
your laptop. When you have finished making all changes to the data-
base, perform a SEND operation to download the new database to the DX-80 switch.
