Panasonic DBS programing question

Mar 02, 2005 6 Replies

I need to program a back door number that will go directly into voicemail. My line is on trunk 9 and my voicemail is on port 29



-32 ext 401-404 in hunt group 1 ext400.



I've been all through the programming manual and can't find anything that seems to make this work.



Any ideas?



TIA


voicemail.

Without the manual, try looking in programming option 407 408 409 410.

Set DIL for trunk 9 to 400.

Oops, wrong system.

Let's try this agian in a couple of minutes.

VM sits in a hunt group, so it's programmed via FF4 1# for day and 2# for night. HG1 is either 79 or 151 then trunk then 1 to make it ring.

Something like FF4 1# 79# 09# 1# ought to make HG1 ring in day mode. Now you need to know what group 400 is.

Carl,

Thanks for the reply. I think I've read the programming manual from cover to cover today (all 500 pages or so) and I did see that setting. Of the several things I tried I pretty sure I tried that but at this point I'm not sure. I do know that the first thing I tried was setting the trunk as a private line by setting it to ring the VMs first ext port. Now that I've done that I don't know how to set it back to no port.

Now I know the golden rule, Call a professional, but this is the last thing I have to do and I really don't want to call in the big guns for something I know should be easy to setup.

The biggest problem I have is I can't get into the system using a Terminal program. The last Panasonic system I worked with I could get in with a terminal app and do thing zip zap. I hate programming the thing from the phone because it's not easy to see what the current setting are. I know I can cycle through using the # and * key but I find that tedious.

Anyway, I'll try the FF#4 commands tomorrow and see how it goes.

BTW, Please tell me you looked that up!!. ;-)

Of course I had to. I didn't make a market in DBS but I have the manual on paper and CD.

Port to Ring Group IIRC was listed as being available in all CPU versions.

LOL. Thanks again Carl. I was able to get it to work this morning once I figured out how to clear the private line setting on the trunk. After that it worked just as advertised with the FF#4 command.
