for a specified range, rather than all extensions. For example, you can
print only certain Tenant Groups, extension ports or Extension
(Department) Groups. This saves printing time by allowing you to

Setup option works in addition towhatever other print options you
have enabled. The ranges you select are saved along with the other
data in the customer database.

The Option Menu Options
The Option Menu provides the following options:
File Path
Use the File Path option to tell the PC Program where to find its pro-
gram and temporary working files. Carefully setting this option is
important if you have many customer databases in different directories
on the PC’s hard disk.

OR
1. From the Option (Parameter Setting) Menu, highlight Fileand
press Enter. In either case, you see the File Screen:
Custom File Directory
Use Custom File Directory to indicate which directory the PC Program
looks into for its database files. For example, when you do a File➩
Readcommand from the Main Menu, the PC program shows you the
list of database files stored in the Custom File Directory.
Temporary File Directory
The Temporary File Directory option lets you specify where you want
the PC Program to create its temporary working files. You can choose
any directory on any of your hard drives as long as it has about 2
Mbyte of free space. When you exit the PC Program, it automatically
removes the temporary files. You’ll have to exit and restart the PC
Program to have your entry take effect. If your PC has expanded or
extended memory, you can speed up the PC Program by creating a vir-
tual drive (“RAMDisk”) for the temporary files.
Initial File Directory
The Initial File Directory entry tells the PC Program where to look for
the database file it loads on initial startup. Your entry should be the
directory for the file listed in the Initial File Name option. When you
first start the PC Program, it tries to load the file C:\I\DX2NA.NAD

or C:\I\DX2NA.NAE, depending on your PC Program software ver-
sion. Use the Initial File Directory option if your program is installed in
a different directory, or if you want to use a different initial file.
Initial File Name
When you start the PC Program, it automatically loads the customer
database file entered in the Initial File Name option. You might find it
helpful to create a standard customer database and automatically load it
each time through this option. You could then use the standard file as a
baseline for your new installations.
To edit an entry in the File Screen:
1. In the File Screen, use the Upand Down Arrowsto highlight the
option you want to change.

Speed
This option sets the speed of the serial port the PC Program uses for
communicating with the phone system. The speed of the serial port can
be 300, 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600 baud. Most modems can automati-
cally detect the speed you select. If you have problems uploading and
downloading files, consider lowering the port speed.
Length
Use this option to set the length of each data byte. Currently, the length
option is fixed at 8.
Parity
The Parity option determines the type of parity checking used for each
data byte during the serial communications. You should set this option
at None.
Stop
Use the Stop option to set the number of stop bits used for each data
byte during serial communications. You should set this option at 1.
Echo
The Echo option sets the status of the local echo on your PC. Normally,
you should set this option to Off. However, if you need to do a lot of
manual communication from the Modem Screen, you may want to tem-
porarily change this option to On. This will ensure that the characters
you type will display on your screen. (If you see double characters
while typing in the Modem Screen, return this option toOff.)
COM Port
The COM Port option allows you to choose the COM port to which
your modem is connected (COM 1 or COM 2). If you are working on a
