2.1.4.8 F8 – Initialize
In the programming process it is often desirable to revert to factory defaults. The F8-Initialize function key allows
you to revert the laptop database settings to the factory defaults. While using the various database programming
menus, you can press
F8 to initialize the current category. Keep in mind that when you use F8-Init, the system
saves the restored data only when you exit the programming screen. The system then only sends it to the DX-80
switch database when you perform the F4-Send operation.
Note : You can initialize all of the PC-DBA parameters when you install a new system. After you perform a cold
start, connect to the DX-80 processor by pressing F4 . Then press F3 to perform a Receive All and download all
factory settings to the database.
Or, you can initialize all of the PC-DBA parameters by navingating to the working file directory, and at the DOS
prompt, copying all files with a“.DEF’ extension to all “.DAT” extensions. To do this, use the DOS command:
COPY *.DEF *.DAT .
2.1.4.9 F9 – Modem
You can connect to the DX-80 switch remotely by using a modem. You can purchase the optional modem that
allows you to remotely administrate the DX-80 system database. The default directory number of the modem is
199. Some working knowledge of modem operation and connection is useful.
To establish a modem connection, perform the following steps.
1. Make sure that the attendant at the site location is aware that a modem connection will be taking place.
(Using the automated attendant can greatly assist the modem connection process by removing the human ele-
ment at the site location.)
2. Press F9 . The following modem control screen displays:
