Forced Idle Reminder Tones 6
The forced idle reminder tone is a high-low “doorphone” tone that sounds under
the following circumstances:
At the extension, to remind the user that the system or the extension is in
the forced idle state
At the programming console or at a PC running SPM, to remind the system
manager that the system (or at least one extension) is in the forced idle
state because of programming activity
Forced idle reminder tones occur every 20 seconds. You can adjust the volume of
these tones with the volume control.
Programming from the Console 6
This section describes the system programming console and provides the
procedure for entering and exiting system programming from the console.
System Programming Console 6
The system programming console is an MLX-20L telephone connected to the
system programming jack (the first jack on the first MLX module).
This jack is also set as an operator position. You can change the system
programming jack to any one of the first five jacks on the first MLX module. This
allows you to program without interfering with the operator’s call handling.
However, if you change the programming jack to other than the first or fifth jack on
a 008 MLX or 408 GS/LS-MLX module, then you cannot attach a Direct Station
Selector (DSS) to the console.
You can also have one or two DSSs connected to the system programming
console. Each DSS adds 50 extension buttons to the console, which facilitates
assigning features to telephones.
