Understanding the Edit Menu
The Edit Menu gives you full access to the telephone system program-
ming. This gives you several important options when configuring a
system. You can:

download it locally or over a modem. This saves you valuable on-
site programming time.
 Upload a remote system’s programming, modify it in your office,
and send the new configuration locally or via modem. This mini-
mizes the disruption to the site, in addition to giving you a complete
database of the site programming.
 Periodically upload a remote system’s programming and keep it in
your office as a backup.
