This document closely follows the sequence and layout of the DXP’s programming menus. Prior to programming, go through this document with the client, explaining the DXP’s various features, and record programming selections in the spaces provided. “Video Display Terminal Programming Instructions, ” DXP Digital Communications System,” IMI66-087, is made available to authorized DXP installers. This document allows you to avoid going through the entire programming sequence from start to finish when you want to modify certain features after initial programming. Using this document, you can go directly to the feature you want to program. The document includes a handy cross-reference chart that lists DXP features alphabetically. Each entry includes a brief feature description and the keyboard commands needed to program the feature. NOTE: Be sure to carefully read each section of your correspondence manual for references to other relevant Comdial publications.4 - 2 DXP Correspondence Manual
DXP Correspondence ManualProgramming The DXP4.3 Two ways to ProgramThere are two distinctly different ways in which you can program the DXP: directly through the DXP or through the database program PCMMI.. The most common form of DXP programming is to directly connect a PC, video display terminal (VDT), or dumb terminal to one of the serial ports on the CPU board. Then, using PROCOMM Plus for WindowsTM, or some other communications software, you can change the default database in the DXP. With this direct connection, any changes that you make in the DXP are immediately altered in the database. You cannot save your programming choices to disk if you are using a VDT or dumb terminal. The second way to program the DXP is through the database creation program called PCMMI (Personal Computer Man Machine Interface), which allows you to make DXP database changes without being connected to the DXP. When you have created the database, however, you must then upload that information into the DXP through a serial port using your communication software. PCMMI allows you the flexibility to work with the database without having the DXP hardware in front of you. While you cannot use a telephone set to fully program the DXP, you can use a telephone to do some basic programming such as setting the system clock and system speed dials (for more information see GCA40-113).For more information about VDT and PC programming and related software, consult IMI66-087 Video Display Terminal Programming Instructions, DXP Digital Communications System.DXP Correspondence Manual 4 - 3
4.4 Connecting Data DevicesThe DXP has two serial data ports on its CPU board that accommodate data devices such as VDTs, PCs, printers and modems. You can also add serial data ports with the communications card (DXPCOM).. If the cable from the data device you want to use is not already equipped with an RS232-type jack, refer to the data device manufacturer’s manual. Also see, IMI66-085, for the proper wiring connections. When connecting a data device, be sure to consider the following information: -The DXP and the data device each have a transmit data lead, a receive data lead and a signal ground. For a VDT, connect the DXP’s receive data lead to the VDT’s transmit data lead and connect the DXP’s transmit data lead to the VDT’s receive data lead and connect the DXP’s signal ground or SG lead to the device’s SG lead. -If “handshaking” is necessary between the DXP and the data device, connect the DXP CTS (clear to send) lead to the appropriate lead of the data device. For more information about these connections, consult IMI 66-085. -Data devices connected to the DXP should be configured to operate compatibly with the DXP’s default setting of eight-bit data with one stop bit and no parity at a baud rate of 9600 baud, for port one. Port two defaults to seven-bit data, two stop bit, no parity and 300 baud. Remember that the maximum distance between the DXP cabinet and the data device should not exceed 500 feet unless short-haul modems are used. 4 - 4 Programming The DXP
4.5 Using A ModemTo program the DXP remotely through a VDT or PC, you must use a pair of data modems. These modems can be any commercially available, Hayes-compatible modems with auto-answer capability. . You should verify that the modems have auto-answer capability before purchasing them. If the modems do not have auto-answer capability, someone at the site must manually activate the on-site modem. When you install a modem, always consult the modem manufacturer’s manual and check the configuration of the signal leads. If the modem’s cable is not equipped with an RS232 jack compatible with the DXP’s serial data ports, you might have to rewire the cable with the proper connector. To connect the modem to the DXP, run the modem’s cable between the modem’s data jack and one of the DXP serial port; then connect the modem to the outside telephone network in one of two ways: -Reserve a line exclusively for remote programming by punching down the appropriate leads on the type-66 line block and running a line cable directly to the network jack on the modem. -Install a line switch for the modem between the type-66 line block and the common equipment; the line will be available for system users unless the switch is thrown, at which time the remote programmer will have exclusive use of the line. Keep in mind that using this method requires someone at theinstallation to turn the switch before remote programming can begin. To begin remote programming after you have installed the modems, establish the data link between the modems by dialing the appropriate phone number. Then program the DXP exactly as if your VDT or PC were connected directly to the system. Programming The DXP 4 - 5
Programming The DXP DXP Correspondence Manual4.6The DXP is a menu-driven system, and many of the features are Using The DXPlocated in sub-menus. Each menu may contain several sub-menus, and Menusit will take you some time to become familiar enough with the DXP that you know where all of the features are located (see GCA4k1.12, DXP General Description, for a full description of the DXP features). -To maneuver through the DXP menus, enter the number that corresponds with that feature. -Since several of the sub-menus have multiple pages, you may often have to use the “Cm-N” to move to the next page and “CTF&3” to move to the previous page. Also, some menus give you questions as options; these questions are usually self-explanatory and the commands are easy to understand. -To return to the previous menu, select the item on the menu that allows you to do this or press ESCAPE. To return to the main menu, press CTRL-T. -You must separate successive entries for a single item with a space or a comma. However, entries should never end in a comma. You can enter many entries by specifying a range; for example, entering lOl- 1.50 includes all entries between 101 and 150.While you may not know exactly where in programming a feature is located, you can probably find the feature simply by looking at the DXP main menu. The DXP programming is divided into several broad classifications; these main menu classifications allow you to do all of your associated programming together -system, station, and line, for example.Since the system operates on a lo-minute time-out cycle, you must enter a selection or response within this time. If you don’t enter a response within 10 minutes, the programming sequence is aborted and the message “Logout Programming” appears on the screen. This automatic log-off function acts as a safeguard to prevent tampering by unauthorized persons. 4 - 6 Programming The DXP

Programming The DXPDXP Correspondence Manual 4.8 Understanding The Main MenuThe items on the main menu correspond to the major categories of the DXP’s database. The first three items on the main menu represent the following: lSystem, involves features that affect the operation of every telephone in the system. Some examples of features in this category are system timing features like Unanswered Call Ring Back, Recall/Flash, and Pause Time. System programming is examined in detail in Chapter Five. lStations, involves features programmed for individual telephones. These include button assignments and ringing assignments as well as features like Do Not Disturb, Call Forwarding and Personalized Ringing. Station programming is examined in greater detail in Chapter Six. lLine, involves features associated with the line ports that connect the system to the lines from the outside world. This category includes features such as Automatic Line Selection, Line Grouping, and Line Restrictions. Line programming is examined in detail in Chapter Seven. In addition to these three main categories, the rest of the DXP programming is divided into several other broad classifications, which are as follows: l Intercom Numbers. . SMDA/SMDR.lToll Restriction/Automatic Route Selection. l Printouts. l Diagnostics. l Peripherals l Logout, allows you to escape from the DXP’s database, and it terminates the programming sequence. If you choose this option, you will drop out of the programming mode, and the message “Logout Programming” will appear on the screen. Note that any changes you have made in the PCMMI will be lost unless you save them. 4 - 8 Programming The DXP
