and the master side. When full duplication is invoked

(i.e., in the U and U’ configurations, see page 21-24),

[CTRL] O enables the technician to operate the PI

from the RMI or KB0 master terminals as if s/he is

physically located at the slave location.



Recommendation:

database greater than 512K), when changes are

made to systems that do not include an automatic

backup, the following message appears:

Conventions Used in this Document



Routes

Branch headings (starting in Chapter 3) always show the subject and the route

keyed from the Root Menu to reach that subject, for example:



Installation - Route: ROOT (or 0,0,0,0)

Many option headings offer alternative routes; the first route given is the shortest

route and may be used from any point in the PI menu structure. An example is:



Feature Timers - Route: FE.T (or 0,0,1,0)

“FE.T” (also called Direct Access Abbreviation) may be keyed to access the feature

timers from any location in the PI structure. FE.T cannot be accessed when in Name

fields. The route shown by digits and commas is used only from the Root Menu.

be

 Digits must000 separated by commas or spaces. 0,0,0 and 0 0 0 are

acceptable;

is not acceptable.



Ranges and Defaults

The ranges and defaults available for a given programming option are presented

directly after the brief description of the option. For example, the range and defaults

for Station and Trunk COS, Page is shown as:

Range: Yes/No; Default: COS 0-9 = Yes, COS 10-15 = No



When a system default or range is not relevant, None will be shown as the entry. In

addition, when a range or default specification is not applicable for a specific option,

the abbreviation N/A will be given instead of data.



Database Forms

A document called Database Forms is provided for writing down the various site

programming definitions that differ from the defaults presented in this manual.

Database Forms provides a convenient notebook for programmers to record specific

site data and information. This information can then be used in order to redefine

the various PI parameters. The headers of each major option in the Database Forms

mirror the titles of each major option in this document.

country code defines a system operating under the USA standard; one (1) in the

country code defines a system for any countries not listed below and is utilized as

required; two (2) indicates Mexico; three (3) indicates Brazil.

When the system default is European, two (2) in the system type, then the following

codes are used for systems defined for specific countries or equivalent:

the parameter is valid as presented.
