Introduction
Setup decisions for your PARTNER® Plus Communications System should be recorded on the forms in this Planner. The forms must be filled out before installation to provide guidance for the technicians who install and program the system. They should also be used to record changes after installation, so that you have an
ongoing record of the programming for your system. If programming is inadvertently erased (for example, in the event of an exteded power failure), the forms can
be used to reprogram your system
As part of the planning process, you should identify a person in your company to act as System Manager for your phone system. The System Manager is the
person who is responsible for your telephone system. The system Manager should work with your salesperson to fill out the forms in this guide, and should
participate (with an alternate) in the training for the system. The System Manager can then provide training, answer questions for telephone users, and perform
any additional programming for the system.
Filling Out Planning Forms
We suggest you complete the forms in pencil, as follows:

Trans. Return Ext. {#306}
By default, a transferred call returns to the originating extension if the call is not
picked up. To specify a different transfer return extension, enter the extension
number in this column. If you checked the AA/VMS {#607) column for an

Night Service {#504}
Check this box if the extension should be in the Night Service Group. When
Night Service is on, incoming calls on assigned lines ring immediately at the

Form B2 Instructions: Customized Extension Settings
Each row on this form specifies settings—Including line assignments—that are
the same for all extensions om a User Group (such as "Managers" or "Fax
Extensions”). After programming one extension, those settings can be copied to
other extensions in the group using
Copy Settings {#399}.
Line Settings
If different lines for a User Group should have different settings, specify restrictions and ringing for each group of lines as a block (we “Examples” below),
Line Assignment {#301}
Extensions with identical settings should belong to the same group; If a single
extension has unique settings, it should be put into a group by itself. (If you
need more groups, copy this form and fill out additional rows on the copy.)
Default settings are shown at the top of
Form B2.
Settings for Auxiliary Equipment
Assign each type of auxiliary equipment to its own User Group (or more than
one group if devlces of the same type are programmed differently). The follow-
ing settings may be useful for auxiliary equipment
■
For a dedicated line (such as a fax line), assign the line to the equipment
extension and remove it from other extensions.
■
To prevent other extensions from interrupting calls, enter “On” (Assigned) in
the Auto. Ext. Privacy {#304} column.
■
In general, do not assign auxiliary equipment extensions to a Pickup Group,
Calling Group, or Hunt Group, or to the Night Service (see
Form B1).
Settings for a Receptionist's Extension

calls, for either immediate or delayed call handling,

line ringing for that extension should be coordinated with settings for other
extensions to determine how calls are handled in your company.
■
lf the receptionist answers all calls
(Immediate call handling),
assign all
lines to extension 10 with immediate ringing. Then assign lines to other
extensions as needed, with no ringing at those extensions. The receptionist
will answer all calls and transfer them to the appropriate extensions. If you
want another extension to answer calls that the receptionist cannot pick up
immediately, assign all ilnes to that extension with delayed ringing.
■
If the receptionist answers calls only when users do not pick up immediately
(delayed call handling), set lines to immediate ringing at user extensions

Abbr. Ring {#305}
By default, a new call rings only once when the phone is in use (abbreviated

Group Assignments
To assign extensions to any of the following groups (each extension can be in
any number of groups), place check marks in the appropriate columns.
Pickup Groups {#501}
Any extension can answer an outside call ringing at an extension in a Pickup
Group, without knowing which extension is ringing and without being in the
group. (Intercom or transferred calls cannot be picked up.)
Calling Groups {#502}
A user can ring or page (voice signal) all extensions in a Calling Group simulta-
neously. Once an extension answers, the ringing or paging stops at the other
extensions in the group. (Calls cannot be transferred to Calling Groups.)
NOTE:
phone beeps and your voice is heard through its built-in speaker. MLS-model
phones are the only ones that can be voice signaled.
Hunt Groups {#505}
Calls can ring or be transferred to the first non-busy extension in a Hunt Group.
A call rings at an extension for 3 rings; if it is not answered, the call hunts to the
next available extension, continuing until someone answers or the caller hangs
up. (If you voice signal a Hunt Group, only the first extension is signaled; if that
extension does not answer, the call does not keep hunting.)

Form C Instructions: Button Programming Templates
Fill out these templates only if button features for users will be programmed
from extension 10 or 11. If multiple phones should have identical button programming, fill out a template; then (below the template) list extensions that
should be programmed as shown. After assigning lines on
use

that do not have lines assigned. Users can program additional features using
the instructions in their Quick Reference Cards.
The templates reproduce the labels for different phone types: MLS-34D, MLS-
18D, MLS-12D/MLS-12™, and MLS-6™/MLC-6 phones. Copy these templates
as needed. You can also fill out phone labels using these templates as a guide.
For your reference, example templates are shown following this page.
A telephone button can be programmed as a line button (to make and answer
calls on an outside line), an Auto Dial button (to dial an outside number, intercom number, or PBX/Centrex feature access code with one touch), or a dial-
code feature button (to access a dial-code feature with one touch). Line buttons
must have red and green status lights; some features also require buttons with
lights (see "Button Feature Summary").

assign an Allowed list to permit the user to call specific customers or suppliers.

Important Notices
■
Consult your local phone directory to determine the numbers for police, fire,
and ambulance service, because "911“ is not available everywhere.
■
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emer-
gency numbers:
1. Stay on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call
before hanging up.
2. Perform such activities during off-peak hours, such as in the early rooming
or late evening.
