Video Display Terminal Programming Feature
You can program the class of service features from a video display terminal (VDT) instead of from the
programming station if you wish. The VDT that you use must be a serial-data, RS-232 type,
asynchronous device.
You can employ a personal computer (PC) if it will run a communications software program that allows
it to emulate a data terminal device (DTE equipment). Many effective communications sdftware
programs are available for this purpose. You can use any that you can arrange to match the following
data communications parameters:
l Full Duplex
0 XMODEM communication protocol (8 bit data required)
Regardless of the type of programming terminal that you employ, you must connect it to the digital
telephone system data 
port A.Refer to the Chapter 3 paragraph titled, Data Device Connections for
complete connection details.
The pages that follow provide an overview of the VDT programming feature.For a more detailed,
step-by-step procedure, refer to

Video Display Terminal Programming Procedure
Introduction
The programming procedure is menu driven.
0
0
0
0
0
A list of selections are presented for consideration
which differ in content and required response.
Each selection, when responded to, either causes a
further breakdown of selections to be presented or
causes a particular COS programming action to
take place.
This menu system prompts the programmer for the
required response and, where appropriate, will
repeat prompts to allow programming of more than
one device without having to make another menu
selection.
All of the menus operate in the same manner.
They differ in only the required response.
Each prompt requires a response followed by a
Carriage Return (RETURN). The responses
usually consist of a one or two-digit number or a
string of numbers or alpha-numeric characters
when programming names and messages.
Separate successive entries in a string by a space
or a comma; however, do not end a string of entries
with a comma.If you do, the system will reject the
string.
General Information
There are two responses which allow a programmer to
quit a procedure.
0
0
RETURN (ENTER on some keyboards) - This
action returns the user to the top of the current
menu.
CONTROL C - .This action returns the user to the
top of the main menu.
There are certain other responses which have special
functions.
l Responding with the @ key will print or display the
menu that the programmer is currently using. The
system is waiting at the same prompt line as it was
before the menu was repeated.
l Responding with the? key will cause a help menu
to be printed if one is available. The system iswaiting at the same prompt line as it was before the
help menu was requested.
There are special line edit characters.
l Backspace, Delete, Rub-out - Used to delete
characters from the response line as they are being
typed.
l CONTROL R - Causes the current response line to
be echoed for review.
l CONTROL D - Causes the current response line to
be deleted.
l CONTROL S - Causes printing or display action
stop.
l CONTROL Q - Causes the printing or display to
resume.
There are two system acknowledgement messages to
a response line.
l COMMAND ACCEPTED - Response accepted.
0***COMMAND REJECTED*** - Response not
accepted. The terminal bells also sounded.

Remote Programming Configuration
You can program the digital telephone system
remotely using the following equipment:
0 VDT or a PC and appropriate software program,
0 Pair of data modems.
The data modems must be: “Hayes-compatible”,
capable of 
300-, 1200-, 2400-, or 9600-baud data
speeds, and have auto-answer capability. Be sure 
to
vetify the auto-answer capability before purchasing the
units. You are assured of best results if you employ
modems of the same make and model at both the
installation site and the remote programming site.Installation
The equipment connections at the customer location
are as illustrated on page 4-61. Connect the
equipment for remote programming as illustrated
therein and discussed below.
0
0
0
0
Determine the signal needs of the modem from the
uier’s manual for it. (The digital telephone system
only requires TD, RD, and SG but the modems may
require more signals).
Wire the proper connector (to match the data jack)
on one end of a length of multiline cable.
Punch down the appropriate leads on the connector
block.Refer to Chapter 3 for connection details as
needed.
Connect the network jack of the data modem to an
outside telephone line. (If a line is not reserved for
remote programming, have a line switch installed
so that on site personnel can switch the outside
telephone line between the data modem and the
digital telephone system cabinet when you are
going to perform remote programming.)
Refer to the user’s 
manual for the modem, and
program the modem to automatically answer after
the first ring.
Iriterface the VDT or PC with the modem at the
programming site per the user’s manuals for the
equipment be used.
If you experience difficulty in establishing a
communications path between your VDT, modems,
and the digital telephone system, note the following
suggestions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.Insure that you have enabled the modem
auto-answer feature.
Insure that the modems are wired correctly.
Reverse connections at pins 2 and 3 if necessary.
Check the modem wiring requirements stated in its
instruction manual. You may have to connect
more wiring than that connected at pins 2, 3, and 7.
Sometimes you must strap pin 4 to 5, or pin 6 to 7,
or pin 6 to 6 to 20 in the modem wiring. Check the
modem’s installation manual for this requirement.
Use a Breakout Box Data Tester to 
;roubleshoot
the data communications lines.
Operation
To establish a communications link for programming
the system 
fmm a remote site, proceed as follows:
l If you have had a line switch installed at the
customer site, call someone there and ask them to
set it for modem operation.
l After the outside line is connected to the modem,
you can make the data link between the originating
and the remote modems.
You can then perform programming from your remote
site just as if the VDT or PC was connected directly to
the system.Typical PC Operation
.
The following procedure is given as a typical example
for using a PC and an XMODEM-type communications
software program to program the digital telephone
system. It is only provided for illustration and
reference purposes and describes a set-up using a
typical communications software program known as
PROCOMM (produced by Datastorm Technologies,
Inc.). Many other communications software programs
are also available that you can use for this purpose.
While individual operating procedures will vary with
different.communications software programs, the
general process is similar to this.
1. Perform turn-on and program-load procedures. If
operating through modems, take action to
establish a communications link between the PC
and the digital telephone system.
2.If you have direct connected your PC to the
digital telephone system, match the data
communications parameters of the software
Program to those now programmed at the digital
telephone system.
