Modifying an Existing File and Saving It as a Different File
Many times, you will create new files by modfying existing files. For example,
if you want to change one button in a file while maintaining that original file,
you can open that file, make your changes, and then save the modified file
under a new title. This way, you save time and effort and still have your
original file.
To save an existing file under a new title:
1.Select Save As. . . from the file menu.
The Save As dialog box appears.
2.Enter the name of the new file.
/NOTE:
AT&TSet automatically adds the .set suffix to the file name you
enter if you do not specify a suffix. If you prefer, you may enter
another suffix. However, it is recommended that you use the
.set default to make it easier to identify and load AT&TSet files.
3.Select the OK button.
The Save As dialog box closes, and the new title appears at the top of
the window.

Centralized Telephone Programming
Tasks
If you are the System Manager, AT&TSet enables you to also perform the
following Centralized Telephone Programming tasks for any user extension
(system or standard telephone) including your own:
n
n
nperform Extension Programming (all tasks in the previous section except
tasks involving the System Speed Dial List)
set the Automatic Line selection order
set the line ringing options for line buttons
Every PARTNER system allows you to perform system administration from
extension 10. However, you can perform system administration from
extensions 10 and 11 on PARTNER PLUS Release 3 or later and all releases
of PARTNER II.
/NOTE:
If both extension 10 and extension 11 are system administration
extensions, only one of these extensions may be used to perform
system administration at one time.
Entering Centralized Telephone
Programming
AT&TSet enables you to perform Extension Programming for another
extension. While running AT&TSet from your extension, you can read and
program other extensions on the system, regardless of whether the extensions
have system phones or standard phones. When programming another
extension, you have the ability to read the current programming for that
extension and also write new features to that extension.
5-36 
						

							Using AT&TSet
Before allowing you to program (that is, write to) another extension, AT&TSet
prompts you specify the following information:
n     the extension that you want to program
n    whether you want to read the programming from the extension
n     the type of telephone at that extension
If you specify that you want to read the programming of the other extension,
AT&TSet then prompts you to specify which items you want to read from that
extension (for example, button programming). AT&TSet then reads the
programming from the extension that you want to program and displays the
current programming for that extension in the telephone configuration you
specify. For example, suppose you want to program extension 14, which is an
MLS-12 telephone. When prompted, you specify that you want AT&TSet to
read the button programming for extension 14 and display the information in
an MLS-12 file. AT&TSet then reads the programming for extension 14 and
displays the current programming in an MLS-12 file on your PC screen. In a
way, it is as if your PC is connected to the extension that you are
programming. When you make changes and write this file to the telephone,
these changes are written to the telephone of the extension you are
programming; these changes do not affect the telephone at your own
extension.
If you do not specify AT&TSet to read the programming from the other
extension, you will receive a new, blank file in the telephone configuration that
you specify. For example, if you specified that the extension had an MLS-12D,
AT&TSet displays an MLS-12D file with none of the buttons programmed.
NOTE:/
When programming extensions that have standard telephones,
select the same telephone you have as the telephone type for the
extension. For standard telephones, you can program only the
Personal Speed Dial List (if supported by your PARTNER
system), Automatic Line selection, and line ringing options.

							Using AT&TSet
When you read programming from your own extension or write programming to
your own extension, the image file for your extension is automatically saved
on your PC. However, when you read the programming of another extension
or write programming to another extension, the image file for that extension is
not automatically saved on your PC. If you want to save the information for
later use, you must save it to a file on your own PC.
To program another extension:
1.Select Program Another Extension. . . from the programming
menu.
The Program Another Extension dialog box appears.

Dialog Box
2.Select the extension that you want to program.
3.Select the type of telephone at the extension that you want to program.

4.Select whether you want to read the existing programming for the
extension that you want to program. An x in the Read Phone check
box indicates that AT&TSet will display the current programming for the
selected extension.
5.Select the OK button.
If you did not select the Read Phone check box, AT&TSet will display a
blank screen for the telephone type you selected (that is, there is no
programming information).
If you selected the Read Phone check box, the Read from Telephone
dialog box appears.

Note that the Extension label notifies you which extension you are
currently programming. Whenever you are unsure which extension you
are programming, look at this label in the AT&TSet file.
At this point you may program this extension using the same
procedures described earlier in Extension Programming Tasks or
perform the following two tasks. When you want to exit Centralized
Telephone Programming, repeat steps 1 to 5, but select your own
extension in step 2.

							Using AT&TSet
Setting the Automatic Line Selection
As System Manager, you can use AT&TSet to set the Automatic Line Selection
for each extension. Automatic Line Selection is the order in which the users
are connected to idle lines when they lift the telephone handset or press the
speaker button. The system always picks the first choice in the Automatic Line
Selection list that is inactive at the time. The Automatic Line Selection cannot
be read from the telephone. If the extension’s telephone programming is read,
the Automatic Line Selection indicated in AT&TSet may not accurately reflect
the telephone’s programming.
To set the Automatic Line selection:
1.Selected Automatic Line Selection. . . from the Programming
menu.
The Automatic Line Selection dialog box appears.
