System Programming
Before you can program the system you must have a phone plugged into the first extension
socket 21
The Factory Default Password is * * 01 1234 # (Refer to the disc to change).
Programming can only be done on Extension 21

If Programming is successful you will hear voice confirmation (denoted as a Beep in
the instructions below)
If you have less than 3 lines you need to program the system accordingly
For One Line:
On Ext 21 Dial: Password (Beep) * 3 1 1 # (Beep) Hang up
For Two Lines:
On Ext 21 Dial: Password (Beep) * 3 1 1 2 # (Beep) Hang up
How many Extensions do you want to Ring. The system has a factory default setting of
extensions 21-24 ringing on all incoming calls. If you want more than the first 4 to ring on
incoming calls carry out the following programming for each line
Firstly enter the password on extension 21: * * 01 1234 # As long as you do not hang up you
can continue programming without having to re-enter this password.
For line 1 (01):
* 12 01 25 # (Beep) This will program extension 25 to ring on all calls to line 1
* 12 01 26 # (Beep) This will program extension 26 to ring on all calls to line 1
Repeat for as many extensions as you want to ring for calls coming in on line1
Now repeat for any additional extensions you want to ring on the other incoming lines you
have. Eg:
For Line 2 (02):
*12 02 25 # (Beep) This will program extension 25 to ring on all calls to line 2
Or for line 3 (03)
* 12 03 26 # (Beep) This will program extension 26 to ring on all calls to line 3
etc…
If you want a more specific ringing program please refer to the disc.
