The Meridian Companion Programming and Provisioning
Record
Record all programming in Meridian Companion Programming and
Provisioning Record. Meridian Companion Programming and Provisioning
Record is divided into two groups of information: system-wide programming
and user-specific programming.
The Administration Terminal
The Meridian Companion system can be programmed by means of an
Administration Terminal. The Administration Terminal has a two-line display
and three types of buttons. You cannot make or receive calls on the
Administration Terminal when connected to a Meridian Companion system. It
is used only for system programming and maintenance.
Buttons
Administration Terminal buttons enable you to program and maintain the
Meridian Companion system:
• ƒ Use the Feature button to begin a programming session on
the Administration Terminal.
• ® Use the Release button to end a programming session on the
Administration Terminal.
Display buttons
The Administration Terminal has three display buttons
directly below the display. During feature operation or programming, these
display buttons provide options relating to the top line of text on the display.
Available options appear on the bottom line directly above the corresponding
display button.
The options above the display buttons are indicated in this guide in a special
underlined typeface (for example,
OK
). The other text in the display is shown
in the special typeface but not underlined (for example,
Password:
).
Dialpad buttons
You use the Administration Terminal’s dialpad buttons to
enter feature codes and to select digits or letters when you need to enter a value
on a display. You can enter letters as well as the digits represented on the
dialpad buttons when programming some features (for example, System LID).
