3.2Reviewing The Control Key DefinitionssThe following list describes the control key functions. Unless otherwise noted, control keys are valid
input at any time during programming.
0Control C (C for Cancel):l
Control E (E for Edit or Erase):
0Control I (I for Increment):l
Control N (N for Next):
0Control P (P for Previous):lControl R (R for Redraw):
0Control X (X for exit):
0Control S (S for Stop):l
Control T (T for Top):
0 Control V:This key will cancel the current mode or function and return you
to the last command prompt.Use this key to edit a selected field or entry. On “smart”
terminals, most fields will be automatically cleared when the
first character is entered. Some fields allow the you to add to
the current entry.On these types of fields, Control E will clear
the entry and position the cursor at the beginning of the field.
You can 
also use this key to erase a field that has blanks for
valid input such as an autodial number.Use this key during table editing to position the cursor to the
next horizontal editing position.Use this key to switch to the next page of data for those database
items that fill more that one screen. There will always be an on
screen note when this key is valid.This key is identical to the Control N key except that it displays
the previous page of information.When you press this key the system will redraw the current
screen display. Usually, you use this key when the terminal
display is configured in brief mode.This key will return you to the previous command prompt and
cancel whatever input was in progress. This action may or may
not cause the previous screen to be redrawn depending on the
current mode. When you enter a change at most of the
programming menus, you must press the ESCAPE key and type
a y followed by the ENTER key to save the change.
Use this key to stop printouts.Use this key to cancel whatever input was in progress and return
to the top level menu. The top level menu will always be
redrawn
Use this key to turn the entry field prompting on or off.
3.3Reviewing The Terminal Mode Definitionsl Control A:
l Control D:
l Control W:Use this key to cause the system to send and receive data to an
ANSI style terminal
Use this key to cause the system to send and receive data to a
“dumb” terminal.Use this key to cause the system to send and receive data to a
Wyse 50 compatible terminal.

Reviewing The Command
4
Prompts and Error Reporting
4.1Reviewing The Command PromptsThere are four different types of command prompts.
lMenu Selection Prompt: Use this prompt to make a menu selection. The system requires a numeric
input and displays the valid range of numbers in the prompt that corresponds to the number of menu
items displayed.
lEdit Line Prompt: Use this prompt on database editing screens to get to the desired line number tobe edited. The system requires a numeric input and displays the valid range of numbers in the
prompt that corresponds to the number of menu items displayed. A RETURN (ENTER) at this
prompt will automatically select the first item.
0Station, Line or Class Of Service Prompt: Use this prompt to get to the particular item or itemsthat are to be edited. This prompt is waiting for numbers, a range of numbers, or names. You may
specify a single item or multiple items separated by commas,Select a range of items by entering
two numbers separated by a dash. The prompt shows the valid range of numbers but the system will
accept names. The system accepts an item as a name if the 
fast character is not a number. The
system displays the database information of each item one at a time for viewing or editing. When
you use the ESCAPE key to exit the database information screen, 
the system displays the next item
in the list. When you use CONTROL C to exit the screen, all list processing stops and the prompt
display returns. When you use CONTROL T to exit the screen, the system stops all list processing
and displays the top level menu.
lMultiple Choice Question Prompt: This type of prompt asks a specific question concerning thecurrent screen or function and shows the valid responses. Enter these responses as a single character
followed by a RETURN (ENTER).
4.2Reporting ErrorsPressing unexpected keys (such as letters when only numbers are allowed) or entering an out-of-range
value at a prompt causes the keyboard alarm to sound. The system responds to other types of input
errors by displaying an error message on the screen as soon as it detects the error. If the system detects
a value-out-of-range error, and if the valid range is not currently shown in the display, the error message
includes the valid range of values for reference.
There is one circumstance for which the system does not report an entry error and this is when you are
listing items at a station, line or COS prompt.In this case, the system processes valid items in the list upto the first invalid item that it encounters. It does not report the encountered invalid item as an error.

6.1.1Master Clear
Description.=
Programming:
The master clear feature in an on-line procedure that returns the entire system to the default
operating parameters, clears 
all stored speed dial numbers, and clears any other custom
programming as well. The system takes 15 to 20 seconds to exercise a master clear command
depending upon the system size.
You can take one of three different master clear options.
With master clear mode 1 option, the system assumes a set of parameters that reflect a key
system arrangement. This means that multiline telephones, except logical station port 
1 and 2,
receive direct line appearances in their button maps but have no group intercoms assigned to
their hunt lists. Logical station ports 1 and 2 have four group intercom numbers assigned to their
hunt lists and are button mapped accordingly.
With master clear mode 2 option, the system assumes a set of parameters that reflect a hybrid,
or PBX-like, system arrangement. This means that multiline telephones have no direct line
appearances in their button maps; however, they do have two unique group intercoms assigned
to their button maps and to their hunt lists.
With master clear mode 3 option, the system assumes a set of parameters, that does not map
any station buttons, assigns no group intercom access or personal intercom numbers to the
stations, and disables both zone and all-call paging features.
1. Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2. From main menu, select system and press ENTER.
3. From system menu, select defaults and press ENTER.
4. Select master clear and press ENTER.
5. Type y or n (yes or no) to confirm master clear; press ENTER.
6. Select system default mode (1 = mode 1 9 2 = mode 2,3 = mode 3) and press ENTER.
You can only exercise the master clear when you enter the programming session with
the installer password; however, in a defaulted system, the administrator password is
the same as the installer password thus giving master clear privileges to the
administrator as well. Refer to Section 6.11 to customize the passwords.
