Setup checklist
Before expanding your system or installing for Centrex, review the
installation checklist. If you have Centrex, contact your local telephone
company for further information about Centrex service.
The phone number for line 1 must be the same on all phones
in order for the intercom and page features to work.
Determine the number of phones that will be on the system.
Identify the phone that will be the console phone.
Identify the private line for the console phone. The console
phone must have its own private line. This line is not shared
with any other phone.
Follow the regular installation instructions in this manual.
Enable the console phone.
Store the Centrex pickup codes and the seven-digit phone numbers
in one touch locations. (See One touch operation beginning on
page 70.)
Enable the console phone
Determine which phone will be the console phone for your system and
program the console following the directions to Set this phone to be the
Centrex console phone on page 55. It is recommended that Line 4 of the
console be programmed as a private line, to be sure a line is available for
Centrex access.
Console operation
Once another system phone has enabled its delayed ring, the console phone
will receive those calls. All the 984 features work in the same manner as
described in this manual.
The console phone can pick up other Centrex lines through Centrex
switching. You can store the Centrex pickup codes and the seven-digit
phone number of each station, except for the console phone, in the one
