Product Safety Labels

If you are a new user, read Chapters 1, 4, and 5 to familiarize yourself with

the system’s features, learn how to handle calls, and program your phone.

If you are installing the system for the first time, we suggest you read this

guide completely. Chapter 1 is an overview of the system, while the other

chapters give specific information on installing, programming, and using it.

If you are installing additional equipment, see Chapter 2, “Installing the

Hardware,” Chapter 3, “Programming,” and Chapter 5, “Using Auxiliary

Equipment.”

If you need to reprogram the system or individual extensions, see Chapter 3,

"Programming."

If you are installing fax machines, answering machines, modems, or other

data devices that can be connected to phone lines through the system, see

Chapter 5, "Using Auxiliary Equipment."

Once you are experienced with the system, use the Table of Contents or

Index to locate the information you need.

This book contains several product safety labels, identified by a

CAUTION

Indicates the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor personal

injury of property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

WARNING

Indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause severe or fatal personal

injury if the hazard is not avoided.

Carefully read the

WARNING

label on page 2-5. Opening the system

modules or backplane will expose you to hazardous voltages, which can cause

severe personal injury or death.

Also, read “Safety Instructions” on page 2-ii before performing any installation

procedures.

Overview

Managing the System

This guide explains everything you need to know about using your PARTNER™

Plus Communications System. If you are responsible for managing the

system—whether you are a receptionist, an office manager, or the “resident

expert” on using it—you will find instructions and advice on the following topics:

■

Installing System Hardware.

If your company already has modular jacks

for all outside lines and extensions, you may be able to use this existing

wiring to install the system hardware and connect telephones to the system

yourself (see Chapter 2 for installation instructions). If you prefer to have an

AT&T service technician perform the installation and customize your system,

call 1 800 247-7000.

The system supports a wide variety of auxiliary equipment, including fax

machines, modems, answering machines, and credit card scanners. See

Chapter 5 for advice on setting up such industry-standard devices to work

effectively with the system.

■

Changing System Settings.

You can change your system’s settings easily

to accommodate new or expanding needs. Chapter 3 gives instructions for

making whatever system changes are needed—from adding modules to

changing the features on a single extension. It gives details on the features

that can help you manage your system (“System Programming Options”),

explains how to reprogram your system (“System Programming

Procedures”), and explains how to change the way a telephone is

programmed—either remotely from extension 10 (Centralized Telephone

Programming) or directly at the telephone itself (Extension Programming).

■

Training Co-Workers.

Chapter 4 explains how to handle calls and use

system features effectively. To help with this task, give each telephone user a

Quick Reference card and filled-in copies of the “Speed Dial” and “Extension

Programming Information” forms in Appendix B.

■

Solving Problems.

Appendix C provides information on solving problems

and ordering additional accessories and equipment. If your system or

telephones malfunction, you may be able to solve the problem by following

the steps provided in the “In Case of Difficulty’” section of the appendix. If

you still need help, call the 24-hour AT&T Helpline at 1 800 628-2888.

■

Daily Operation.

Depending on how your system is set up, you may need to

oversee some of the system’s daily operations. For example, if your system

is programmed to use the Night Service feature, you will need to turn on

Night Service at the end of each day before leaving the office. (See “Using

Night Service” in Chapter 4.)

Overview 1-1

Features and Capabilities

The following list provides an overview of the basic features of the system, along

with the additional capabilities that you can get by customizing the system:

■

Connects up to 8 outside lines and 24 extensions.

Uses interchangeable parts, making the system easy to install, maintain, and

upgrade.

Supports industry-standard touch-tone and rotary telephones.

Lets you connect fax machines, answering machines, modems, and credit

card scanners directly to your phone system. Therefore, you do not have to

buy extra lines or expensive adapters to connect these devices to the sys-

tem.

Displays prompts and messages to guide you when you program the sys-

tem, making it easy for you to change the way the system and phones are

programmed.

Includes the following flexible dialing restrictions and permissions that let you

control telephone activity and phone bills:

■

Line Access Restrictions and Outgoing Call Restrictions that restrict the

kinds of calls a user can make on outside lines.

■

Disallowed Lists that prevent users from dialing certain telephone

numbers (such as 900 numbers)

■

Allowed Lists, System Password, Marked System Speed Dial Numbers,

and Emergency Numbers for overriding dialing restrictions

Combines simplicity of use with a wide range of calling features on system

phones, including:

■

Speed Dialing

■ Conferencing

■

Last Number Redial

■ Do Not Disturb

■ Privacy

■ Hold

■ Exclusive Hold

■ Transfer

■

Loudspeaker Paging

■

Access to multiple lines

Supports the following groups of extensions for flexibility in directing and

answering calls:

■

Calling Group for ringing or paging (voice-signaling) a group of exten-

sions at once

■

Call Pickup Group for answering an outside call ringing at an extension in

the group from any other extension in the system

1-2 Overview

■

Night Service Group to prevent unauthorized use of telephones after nor-

mal business hours while allowing incoming calls to be answered

Allows you to make and answer calls during a power failure (with standard

phones), while retaining programmed settings for up to four days. (An

optional Uninterruptible Power Supply, or UPS, is also available.)

Includes a special procedure to customize system operation for Centrex/PBX

telephone service.

Supports additional applications such as auto attendants, doorphones, pag-

ing systems, hotlines, external alerts, or music-on-hold* systems.

* If you use equipment that rebroadcasts music or other copyrighted materials, you may be required to obtain a license

from a third party such as ASCAP or BMI. Or, you can purchase a Magic on Hold® system from AT&T that does not

require you to obtain such a license.
