							6.10.8Common Audible Ringer (Common Audible Ringer Inferface)Description:
If your installer connects customer-supplied external paging equipment to the system’s external
paging port, use this programming procedure to arrange for that 
equipment to sound the ring
signal 
of any or all lines.
You can arrange for it to track the ringing of the direct, delayed, day
1, day 2, or night ringing modes. Upon hearing the ringing over the external paging equipment,
the user can dial feature codes to answer the call that is ringing on the associated lines.
NOTE: You can assign the same ringing pattern to an unused and unconnected relay (Section
6.10.7) that you assign to the external paging equipment with the following procedure. If
you do this, station uSers can dial the call pick up codes associated with the assigned
relays to answer the calls that sound over the external paging equipment.Programming:
1 0 Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2. From main menu, select system and press ENTER.
3. From system menu, select paging zones and press ENTER.
4. From paging zones menu, select common audible ringer and press ENTER.
5. From common audible ringer menu, select ringing type and press ENTER.

6.10.9External Paging Port (External Paging Interface)Description:
If your installer connects customer-supplied external paging equipment to the system’s external
paging port, use this programming procedure to assign the external paging port to a paging
zone. When users want to page through the external paging equipment they must dial the code
for the paging zone that you assign to the external paging port with this procedure.
Also refer to Section 6.10.6.
Programming:1.Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2.From main menu, select system and press ENTER.
3.From systems menu, select paging zones and press ENTER.

6.11Change Password (Password Programming)
lM166-123
You can use this programming procedure to change the program entry password for both the installer and the
administrator and change the main programming station entry code for the 
system manager and the attendant.
The default sequence for both the installer and the administrator password entries is:I %746 %.
You can change part or all of either or both of these passwords to a customized sequence of up to 15 digits and/or
letters.You can enter both upper and lower case letters if you desire but do keep in mind that the programmer
must enter the password later just as you program it here with the letters properly placed in either upper or lower
case.Thus, a new entry password could be as follows: nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, or nnn, or just n (n = any number digit
or any letter 
- for example 12345678, or enter, or Jane, or lA, or any other combination that you pick.)
The default 
system manager station entry code is as follows: INTERCOM button, +#+ # 746 *.
You can change the default password portion of this station entry code (the 6 portion) to a custom value of up to
15 digits. Thus, a new station entry could be as follows: 
INTERCOM button, +K #74 nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn SC.
You can also change the feature code portion of the system manager station entry (the ##74 sequence). You
can change the feature code from 4#74 to a custom code of up to four digits (no letters allowed).
Thus, a new system manager entry could be as follows: INTERCOM button, nnnn 6 %.
Further, if you couple the allowed password change with the allowed feature code change, a system manager
station programming entry code could be as follows: INTERCOM button, nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn +K.
The default attendant station entry code is as follows: INTERCOM button, +# #0 %.
The feature code part of this entry is the +K#O sequence. You can change the feature code from the +I+#0 code to a
custom code of up to four digits (no letters allowed).
Thus, a new attendant entry could be as follows: INTERCOM button, nnnn %.

6.12Feature Renumbering
Description:Dialing codes for user features are flexible so that you can renumber them. This may be
necessary if site requirements dictate that personal or group intercom numbers fall within a
certain block or sequence. Since new number assignments can not conflict with existing
number, the system provides a block of unassigned numbers that you can use for renumber
assignment. At default, the system assigns blocks of numbers in the following ranges:
1001-1480 = personal intercom,
4001-4480,5000-5039 = group intercom,
5040-5999 = unassigned,
600-899, f, # = feature codes
9 = line group 1
Programming:1.Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2.From main menu, select system and press ENTER.
3.From system menu, select feature renumbering and press ENTER.
4.From feature renumbering menu, select feature catagory and press ENTER.
5.From feature catagory menu, type item number for feature and press ENTER.
6.Type new code and press ENTER.
NOTE: The number block of 504@5999 is unassigned at default.Use it for code renumbering.
7.When finished, press ESCAPE twice.
8.Type y to accept changes, n to reject them, or r to resume editing and press ENTER.
9. Press ESCAPE to end.
If a number conflict exists, the system will prompt you to remove the conflict.Before
responding to this prompt with a y (yes), be sure that doing so will not disturb other
programmed features that depend upon the removed extension number. It is possible
to create a situation where you must make several renumbering changes to completely
resolve a number conflict.

Tl--El alarm occurs. Typically, installers wire the relay to control loud bells or other external
ringers, but they can use visual devices if desired. Specified users, upon hearing this alarm, can
dial a feature code to turn off the alarm. Generally, you should use relays 
24 for this purpose
since they are normally open. Because relay 1 is normally closed, you must use a specially
configured device when using this relay.

							6.13.7Pad Level-Transmit, Receive
(Gain And Attenuation Settings For Line Transmit And Receive)Description:
This feature enhances the DXP Plus Tl--El digital carrier transmission option, the pad level
programming feature adjusts voice levels for both the transmit and receive circuits in the
individual channels.
The choices include: Gain 2, Gain 1, Nominal, Loss 1, Loss 2, Loss 3, Loss 4, and Loss 5.
These settings provide an approximate 
+6 to -15 dB range of choices. Starting at the nominal
setting, each gain level represents an approximate 3 
dB amplification of the signal level from
the previous setting, and each loss level represents an approximate 3 
dB attenuation of the
signal level from the previous setting. Because digital transmission does not lose volume level
as readily as analog transmission does, it is likely that the receive level may be noticeably
higher when using the Tl--El option. Therefore, you may need to select a low setting such as
Loss 2 for the voice level receive parameter when programming this feature for Tl--El lines
that are being used exclusively for voice transmission. Further, if you choose a setting to
increase the receive gain, you should carefully examine speakerphone operation. It is possible to
select a receive gain that will, under certain conditions, interfere with proper speakerphone
operation.
