System Programming IMl66-107
Converting Button Designations
When you first power a new system with no
telephones connected, it defaults its station ports as
follows:
ziFEY-=-
DigiTech 24-line telephones
lnnnn Impact 24-line telephones
When you connect a telephone to a powered-up
system or when you turn on the AC power to a system
after you have connected a telephone to it, the
telephone identifies itself to the system but its button
mapping will be defaulted for the telephone types
denotes above until you master clear the system.
The buttons on impact and Americom telephones are
designated as L buttons while the buttons on a
DigiTech telephone are designated as A and B buttons
These different button designations relate to one
another in the manner detailed in the following chart.
There are times when you are programming the
system parameters that you may need to use this
chart for conversion purposes. At other times, you
can use the proper telephone programming ovenay
with A and B designations that you can find included in
the literature package for the digital telephone system.
You can find sample overlays included at the end of
this chapter.
ns 10 or 12 and you have placed an Impact or
an Americom telephone at the programming port, you
should place the programming overlay on it. This
makes the button designations match the A and B
designations called for in this system programming
manual.
OUDerformbuttonmabDlnafrom
12 using the non-square system programming feature
to reassign telephone buttons to different functions,
you may need either the overlay or the above chart
depending upon the type of telephone that you have
installed at the programming port.
If all system telephones are the same type, when you
press a button at the programming station, you select
the same button on the telephone that you are
mapping. No overlay or conversion chart is needed
here.
When you mix telephones on the same system and
you are cross-model button mapping, you will need
either the overlay or the conversion chart. The overlay
works best when you are using an impact or
Americom telephone at the programming station to
button map a DigiTech telephone located elsewhere.
The chart is more convenient when you have a
DigiTech telephone at the programming station and
you are button mapping an impact or Ameticom
telephone located elsewhere. In either case, when
you map a line to a selected button, it is best if you
choose the line by dialing its code rather than by
pressing a button on the programming station to
represent it. To choose lines 1 through 24, you must
dial 01 through 24.
The following examples explain when you need to use
conversions.
To select button L21 for reprogramming on an Impact
telephone using another Impact telephone at station
10 for programming, press button L21 on the station
10 telephone. Note that no conversion is required in
this example.
To select button 85 for reprogramming on a DigiTech
telephone while using an impact telephone for
programming, press the button designated as 85 by
the programming overlay on the impact telephone at
station 10 (this is actually L21 but the overlay did the
conversion for you).
To select button L21 for reprogramming on an Impact
telephone while using a DigiTech telephone for
programming, press button B5 on the DigiTech
telephone at station 10 (you use the conversion chart
to convert the B5 button to an L21 button).
Jj you m a VDT, it is
best to allow the telephones to identify themselves to
the system before you button map them. When you
do this, the VDT presents the proper button
designations in its prompt and you will not need an
overlay or conversion chart. Beginning with software
release 138 on the lnnnn software cartridges, the
system queries you to designate the telephone type
for unoccupied station ports. Upon your response, the
system presents the proper button designations in the
prompts for these ports.
