System Programming
Programming with SPM
2–43
If you are programming a group of sequentially numbered extensions or trunks,
you may have the option of pressing
Next
(
8
). This saves your entry and
automatically provides the number of the next extension or trunk in the
sequence, thus saving you a couple of steps. If
Next
displays on the screen, you
can use it with the current option.
In most cases, you will be at an intermediate step in the procedure you have just
completed. At that point, you can select one of the options shown on the screen
and continue programming, or you can press
Exit
(
5
) again. This usually
takes you back to the System Programming menu. If not, you again can continue
programming on the current screen or press
Exit
(
5
) again.
Idle States
A few of the programming procedures can be started only when the entire
system or some part of it, such as a trunk or an extension, is idle (not in use).
Some procedures require that the trunk or extension be idle only at the instant of
programming. Other procedures, which take longer, require the system, trunk, or
extension to be forced into remaining idle until programming is completed.
These procedures wait for the system, trunk, or extension to become idle and
then prevent the initiation of any new calls. This condition is called
forced idle
.
NOTE:
If a procedure requires an idle condition, perform the programming outside of
normal business hours.
If a procedure requires that the system be in an idle state and the system is busy
when you begin, you see the screen shown below.
System Busy Pls Wait
Dial Code: nnnn
Slot/Port: ss/pp
Exit
The screen changes to the appropriate programming screen when the system is
no longer busy.
