| UNIT 4: PROGRAMMING - LESSON 3: SYSTEM PROGRAMMING BY PC Extension Menu - Wired Extension Read pages 357 through 392 in the KX-TAW848 Features Manual Initially each Main Unit contains 4 Hybrid Extension Ports to which KX-T7700 series telephones, KX-T7885 and KX-TD7895 wireless telephones, single line devices, DSS consoles, KX-T0141 Cell Stations and KX-TVS Series Voice Mail ports can be connected. The Extension Menu is used to customize these devices for use on the system. It contains three submenus that are broken down by the three available device types (Wired Extension, Portable Station and DSS Console). The Wired Extension Menu includes five submenus, which will be discussed here. For information regarding the Portable Station Menu please see Unit 6. The first submenu is the Extension Settings Menu that contains 9 tabs used to customize the wired extensions connected to the system. In a typical installation only a few fields will need to be modified, however some applications may require greater flexibility and require more complex programming. One field that should always be customized is the Extension Name. Each extension can have a name (20 characters) assigned to it. The name appears as a reference on all programming screens within the Extension Settings Menu and is displayed on proprietary display telephones when intercom calls are made or received. Click here to see an example of the Extension Settings Menu The FWD/DND menu allows the Do Not Disturb (DND) and Call Forward status of each extension to be determined and modified. Extensions can have separate DND and call forward settings for incoming CO Line calls and incoming intercom calls. This enables an extension user to forward his or her incoming CO line calls to a secretary or assistant while forwarding interoffice calls to their voice mailbox. The forwarding method (All, Busy, No Answer) and No Answer Time can also be set or modified from within this menu. The Speed Dial Menu allows up to 10 Personal Speed Dialing Numbers and their associated names to be customized for each extension. Each name can be up to 20 characters in length and the number can have a maximum of 32 digits. The Flexible Key Menu is used to customize the flexible keys on the proprietary telephones. The model of telephone connected to each extension port will determine the number of available keys. By default, keys 1 through 8 are assigned as Single CO Lines 1 through 8 while the remaining flexible keys are not assigned. All the keys can be customized by selecting 1 of 32 available Key Types from the drop down menu. Depending on the Key Type selected, other optional parameters may need to be entered to further define the key. For example, if a key is changed to Direct Station Select (DSS) within the Type field, an extension number must be entered to further define the key. Also keep in mind that Flexible Key Assignments can be copied to one or more extensions by using the “Copy To” button. This can greatly reduce installation time on systems with a large number of proprietary telephones. Programmable Function (PF) Keys can be administered much like flexible keys but with some limitations. The PF Keys can only be used for one touch dialing of station features or telephone numbers. They cannot provide an LED indication as the Flexible Keys can, but up to 32 digits can be entered including the Transfer function. Storing the Transfer function allows the PF Keys to be used as a DSS button without the Busy Lamp Field (BLF) capability. In other words, a PF button that has T102 stored can be used to transfer a CO Line to extension 102 by simply pressing the button. The call does not need to be placed on hold and the transfer button does not need to be pressed to transfer the call.
