Posted: 1 Oct 03

Crash Coarse to Neridian PBX Programming:
This is a short introduction into programming a Neridian PBX. The Neridian PBX's software divides information into
LOADS. Each Load has a specific function for example. LD 20 is where you can print information about phones. The
loads range from LD 01 - LD 1+3. ALWAY LOOK UP ERROR NESSAGES!!!!
Error messages indicate to you what you are doing incorrectly, ignoring them can lead to hours of fustration.
What ! am going to show you should work in a Neridian PBX's with Release 19 and above. We will be using the
Following Loads or (Loaders) programs
LD 10 - Creating and editing Analog phones.
LD 11 - Creating and editing Digital phones.
LD 18 - Speed Call Lists- How to set them up.
LD 20 - Noves, Adds, and Changes, Nost of the common programming will be done here.(in Release 19 and above
LDs 10,11,and 32 are accessible through LD 20.)
LD-23 - Programming ACD's , Here we will program Telephone number that will ring directly to voicemail without
using TN's.
LD-32 - Stating, Enabling and Disabling Telephones
LD +3 - Backing up the PBX
LD 95 - Name Changes, This is where we add, delete, or change the names for any numbers we program.
The Neridian system will usually prompt you for what you need to do. Here are some typical prompts the system asks
for:
REQ: - The Request prompt, Requests information. The system is waiting for your command. valid responses are
different for each load.
(LD 20) valid commands are:
-PRT
-D!SU
-NEW
-ENLU
-CHG
-OUT
-STAT
-COPY
*DataHeads please note: BackSpace does not work if you mess
up in this programming.Please refer to below:

(Shift 8) a.k.a. (the Star key) is used when you make a mistake see below
* Allows you to reenter information at that specific prompt
** Takes you back to the beginning of the load.
**** Takes you out of a load or type "END"
TYPE: This is the type of item you want change i.e.
valid inputs are:
Phone Types-- 2616, 2008, 2006, 39XX
or
TNB-- Terminal Number (port number on the switch)
i.e. 12 00 01 00 - 12=Loop 00=Shelf 01=Card 00=Unit
*Please note: Enter "spaces" between the numbers:
Not 12010!(its not a zip code!)
or
DNB-- Directory Number (a.k.a. Phone extension)i.e.- 6500
CUST: Customer number (almost always "0" unless you have more then one customer set up)
Short Cut's
For Option 11's:
When entering the "TN" information you don't have to insert all the 0's.

i.e. 09 00 00 02 would only be 9 2.
============================================================
(TOP)
Logging in:
Be carful not to log in more than 3 time incorrectly, !f you see OvL+00 this means you are locked out for up to +5
Ninutes.
You should see this when you press return:">" or "OvL000"
Then press: Return
then type "LOG!"
Then you should see "PASS"
Type: "your password"

How to Program a Speed Call List
Step 1) LD 18
Step 2) REQ: NEW
Step 3) TYPE: SCL
Step +) LSNO: (0-8190) Pick an unused number for Speed Call List
Step 5) TOLS: (skip this) To list (new speed call list number)
Step 6) NCOS: (0)-99 - 0 is the default. *Speed calls override the telephones NCOS* You should change to match the
telephone's NCOS
Step 7) DNSZ: +-(16)-31 - This is the maximum amount of Digits allowed for each Speed call list.
Step 8) S!ZE: 1-1000 - Naximum Telephone #'s allowed per List
Step 9) WRT (YES) NO - This tells the PBX to back it up in the Data Store"
Step 10) STOR xxx yyy.y - xxx- the position in the list Yyy-yyyy is the telephone number-*Remember to program a
9" if you use it to dial out with. Ex. 01 9, 1-S00-555-1212
Step 11) WRT (YES) NO - This tells the PBX to back it up in the Data Store"

Creating !ntercom Groups
Basically Dial !ntercom Groups are an internal paging system for the Neridian PBX System.
There are two ways you can set up these groups:
R- Which means Ring.
!f you dial someones 2-digit intercom number it will wait until it is answered before you will be able to talk.
v- Which means voice
This will ring once then automatically pick up so you can talk or listen.
!t will only ring continuously if the person is on the phone.
To Create !ntercom Groups, first print your existing groups.
STEP 1)LD 20
STEP 2)REQ: PRT
STEP 3)TYPE: D!G
STEP +)CUST: 0
then enter through.
This will give you the list of groups already programmed.
To create a new !ntercom Group, just create an !ntercom Key on the phones that you want to be in the same
!ntercom group.
Adding an !ntercom key:
This example is a N2616
STEP 1) REQ: CHG
STEP 2) TYPE: 2616
STEP 3) TN: xx-xx-xx-xx
STEP +) ECHG:YES
STEP 5) !TEN: KEY 8 D!G 1 10 v
This is the 8th key on a persons phone.
The Dial !NTERCON Group "1"
The persons personal group number "10"
v= voice...
You need to program this on at least 2 phones with the same !ntercom Group numbers
but with different Personal Numbers i.e. 10 and 11.
To use the feature;
Person 10 would press his !ntercom Key (key 8) and dial "11" and
if the other person "11" is off the phone it would ring once then automatically pick up.

Then you can just speak to them without them having to press anything.
You must assign everyone you want to be able to talk to on the same Group number.
i.e. Group 1 members can only talk to other group 1 members.so on and so forth

Setting Time and Date
To set the time and date of your system you program in load 2:
Step 1) LD 02
Step 2) STAD "Day Nonth Year Hour Ninute Second"
i.e. STAD "2+ 11 1976 15 +1 +9" = November 2+th 1976 3:+1pm +9 seconds"
To test it...
Type: "TTAD" - (this tests time and date)

Printing a Phone
LD 20
REQ:PRT
TYPE:DNB
CUST: 0
DN: i.e. 5555
Then press enter until it begins to auto scroll. This will give you the Phone "Type" i.e. 2616 and the TN i.e. "12 00 05
00"
Then type:
REQ:PRT
TYPE:(Phone type)or ("TNB")
valid phone types
2xxx -You may enter: 2006, 2008, 2016, 2216, 2616
3xxx -For Taurus sets (Release 2+ Later) 3901,3902,3903,390+, or 3905
TN: This is where you put the TN info you printed above. example:"12 00 05 00"
Then "enter through"

Looking up Error Nessages
To look up error message(This may not work for all Release software):
Step 1) Log !n
Step 2) Type (+ stars - "Shift 8") " **** "
Step 3) Type "Shift and the "1" Key
Step +) Type "ERR then "space" the "error message"
Ex.
SCH0600
(Shift) "1"
>ERR SCH0600 (enter)
>
SCH0600
!llegal !nput Character
