INTRODUCI’ION
1.1This section of the 256 System manual explains
how to program the system. The 256 System is fully
functional when defaulted and only requires program-
ming to meet the customer’s special needs. Program-
ming functions are divided among several “windows”
so that specific features can be programmed easily.
NOTE: Programmers must be properly certified on the
256 System to receive technical support.A.SYSTEM 
SOFTW’ PACKAGES
1.2Software is available in five “packages” that pro-
vide different combinations of features. The available
software packages include the following:
0I
0
0
0MF-Rated Basic: This package includes all basic
features, including Least-Cost Routing (LCR), Hunt
Groups, and Direct Inward Dialing (DID). It does
not include Toll Security features, intercom/outside
Directory, Automated Attendant, Station Message
Detail Accounting (SMDA), 
Tl, or E&M.
M&Rated Extended: This package provides every
feature in this manual except 
Tl and E&M.
M&Rated Extended Plus Tl and E&M: This
package provides every feature described in this
manual including Tl and E&M.RF-Rated Extended Plus Tl and 
E&M: This
package has all of the features described in this man-ual except Least-Cost Routing 
(LCR). Also, users
are limited to accessing only the trunk group’s high-est numbered trunk when a trunk group key is
pressed or a trunk group access code is entered.
When programming a RF-rated system, LCR willstill appear in the Applications Menu (shown on
page S-15), but if selected, an error message is pres-
ented to remind the programmer of its absence. The
LCR feature code and description have not been re-
moved 
from any screens but, the system ignores any
reference to LCR.
1.3The IMX 256 has an additional software package
that has all of the features described in this manual, plus
it allows the GX station instruments to be installed onthe system. (Refer to Appendix A in the back of the
manual for complete information.)
1.4To determine which software package is installed,
press the 
ALT key and the SPACE BAR while viewing
anyscreen. “About...”will appear in reverse video at the
top of the screen. Then press
RFZURN. A window ap
pears that shows the part number of the software. To exit
from that window, press 
RHTHRN again.B. PLANTBEPROG
RAMMING SESSION15 Determine the features that need to be pro-
grammed to meet the customer’s needs. Then refer to
the specific programs and program 
plamting sheets. For
example, if the customer wants to use the Hunt Group
feature, refer to the programming information on page
5-61 and the program 
planning sheet on page 5-202.2. SYSTEM SET-UP FOR
PROGRAMMING
2.1There are three methods that can be used for pro-
gramming 
the 256 System.l On-site programming with an attached personal
computer
0Programming using a stand-alone personal comput-
er
0Remote programming using a modem connection2.2 Each is described separately in the following
pages. only one programming session should be in op
eration at a time.
2.3For on-site, remote, or stand-alone programming;
the computer must be an IBM AI-compatible* personal
computer (PC) with aminimum of: 
MS-DOS 3.3,300-
or 1200-baud modem, 5 megabytes memory available
on the hard disk drive, 640k RAM (with minimum 512k
available), and a 
1.2-megabyte, SJ&inch or 1.44-mega-
byte, 
3.5~inch floppy disk drive (double sided/high den-sity) and an 
EGA* graphics monitor. A mouse is
optional.
*IBM and 
AI are registered trademarks and EGA is a
trademark of International Business Machines Corpora-
tion.
2.4The PC used for stand-alone or remote program-
ming must have the appropriate Stand-Alone/Remote
Programming software installed. 
Ifused for stand-alone
programming, the PC must also have a default database
loaded on the hard drive (the system database informa-
tion is later transferred to the 256 System using Save/Restore via modem 
comtection or direct on-site
connection). The software version on the remote or
stand-alone PC must match the version of the system
database being programmed.NOTE: The programming PC must have a 
configsysfile with the following command lines: 
“buffers=30”
and 
“files=20”. Also, when installed, the new systemsoftware automatically includes the command 
“de-
vice=c:\dos\ setver.exe” in the con&.sys file, which is
required for proper 
MS-DOS 5.0/6.0/6.2 operation. If
the software is installed on a system that still uses 
MS-I

							PROGRAMMINGIssue 1, November 1994INTER-TELPRACTICESIMX/GMX 256 INSTALLATION 81 MAINTENANCE
DOS 3.3, an error message (stating an invalid config.syscommand has been detected) is displayed during the
power-up sequence. The message can be ignored; the
software is 
compatiile with all four versions of DOS.
On-Site Programming
25 For on-site programming, the PC is connected
directly to the 256 System. An RS-232-C cable is con-
nected to one of the RS-232-C connectors on the 256
RCPU Card and COM 1 or COM 2 on the PC. The de-
fault baud rate for the system RS-232-C connectors is
9600 baud.
NOTE: Do 
not wnuect the programming tezminal to an
RS-232-C port that has been programmed for output
(SMDR, SMDA, or error reports). In the default state,
the RS-232-C ports are 
non programmed for output.Stand-Alone Programming
2.6A Personal computer (PC) can be used for pro-
gramming the 256 System. To use a PC in this manner,
the Stand-Alone/Remote Programming software must
be loaded on drive C. The system database information
is stored on double-sided/high 
density floppy disks and
is later transferred to the 256 System using 
Save/Res-tore. This section includes the following instructions
that apply to stand-alone programming:
Initial installation of Stand-Alone/Remote software
(see paragraph 2.10 on this page)
Upgrade of a 256 System database for stand-alone
programming (refer to page 5-7)Installing a printer driver for stand-alone report
printing (refer to page 5-S)Beginning the stand-alone programming session
(refer to page 5-7)Remote Programming Using A Modem
2.7 For modem connection, the Central Processing
Card contains two modems: a Bell 300/1200 baud mo-
dem, and a 
CCITT 300/1200 baud modem. Each mo-
dem has separate extension numbers for the different
baud rates. The default extension numbers are as fol-
lows:Bell 300 baud 
= 270
Bell 1200 baud = 271
CCIlT 300 baud = 272
CCIIT 1200 baud = 273
2.8This section includes the following instructions
that apply to remote programming:
0
0
Initial installation of Stand-Alone/Remote software
(see paragraph 2.10 on this page)
Connecting the remote programming session (refer
to page 5-9)
2.9The 
desired modem can be accessed using one of
the following methods:l
Have the system attendant, automated attendant, or
a station user transfer remote programming calls to
the desired modem extension.l
Set up a direct ring-in to the modem extension on
one trunk for day and/or night modes.l
Set up a DID number that rings the modem extension
in day 
and/or night modes.l Use a DISA trunk and dial the modem extension
number.A.

programming can then be completed as described in the
following pages.
NOTE: If used, Save/Restore will take longer to per-
form via modem than with a direct connection due to the
slower (300 or 1200) baud rate. If the Restore function isused, the associated system reset will disconnect all
calls including the modem connection.
2.28If modem connection is lost during the program-
ming session, allow a minute for the 256 modem to re-
set, then reestablish the call using the procedure given
above. All changes that were saved by a system update
before the connection was lost will be retained in the 256
System’s memory.

3.SESSION TIMER AND SCREEN
SAVER
3.1%JO timers have been built into the system that go
into effect when the programming terminal remains idle
for lengthy periods. They are the session timeout and
screen saver timers.
3.2Whenever the programmingsession remains idle
(no input) for more than five minutes, a screen saver fea-
ture will cause the monitor display to go blank. When
this occurs, the programmer can 
press any key or move
the mouse to restore the video display. The display itself
will not change unless the session has also timed out,
then the Inter-Tel 256 logo is displayed.
NOTE: If your PC has an independent 
screen saver fea-
ture (in addition to the 256 System screen saver), you
may need to clear both screen savers to return to 
pro-
gr=me-33 
lftheprogramming session remains idle for more
than 
20 minutes while a programming window is dis-
played, the system terminates the session.4.
