Programming Meridian SL1 PBX

This is a short introduction into programming a Meridian PBX. The Meridian 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 143

How to HyperTerminal in to the PBX and VOICEMAIL Systems.

1. Launch HyperTerminal

2. Set phone number to your modem dialin number

3. Set terminal emulation to VT102 X Modem

4. Dial... it should end up at a blank HyperTerminal window

5. Type the password to access the PBX modem. This will not show up on the screen when you type it. The screen should now display "Ok, You are now transparent to port 1".

6. Type "logi" to login, then the password.

7. You should now have a > command prompt.

To go from PBX commands to VOICEMAIL (in Hyperterminal)

1. Go to "File", "Properties", "Settings" and set the terminal emulation to VT100.

2. At the >, type "AX"

3. Hit "F1" to bring up the command bar at the bottom.

4. Hit "F1" again to Logon

To go from VOICEMAIL back to PBX (in Hyperterminal)

1. EXIT all the way out of VOICEMAIL, back to where F1 says "logon" (lower left button)

2. Go to "File", "Properties", "Settings" and set the terminal emulation to VT52.

3. hit "Ctrl ]" TO EXIT

IMPORTANT - Do NOT exit HyperTerminal until you have logged out of

BOTH the VOICEMAIL and PBX Command System ("logo" is the PBX logout command)

Basic commands

LOGI = LOG IN

LOGO = LOG OUT

**** = TO CLOSE LOAD

** = RETURN TO REQ PROMPT

ERR SCHXXXX = Explanation of error code ( ovl...sch...)

DNB = DIRECTORY NUMBER (DN) a.k.a. phone extension ex: 2300

TNB = TERMINAL NUMBER (TN) (port number on the switch)

= i.e. 24 00 02 05 - 24=Loop 00=Shelf 02=Card 05=Unit

= *Please note: Enter "spaces" between the numbers:

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.

============================================================

Logging in:

Be carful not to log in more than 3 time incorrectly, If you see OVL400 this means you are locked out for up to 45 Minutes.

You should see this when you press return:">" or "OVL000"

Then press: Return

then type "LOGI"

Then you should see "PASS"

Type: "your password"

LD 02 (CHANGE HOUR)

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 Month Year Hour Minute Second"

i.e. STAD "24 11 1976 15 41 49" = November 24th 1976 3:41pm 49 seconds"

To test it...

Type: "TTAD" - (this tests time and date)

Print system number

TSID = print system number

LD20

CHG = CHANGE ex: Key 00 NUL = Erase config on that key

CPY 1= COPY

DISU = DISEABLE UNIT

DISC = DISEABLE CARD

DISS = DISEABLE SHELF

DISL = DISEABLE LOOP

ENLU = ENABLE UNIT

ENLC = ENABLE CARD

ENLL = ENABLE LOOP

ENLS = ENABLE SHELF

NEW = ADD PHONE

OUT = REMOVE PHONE

PRT = PRINT

STAT = STATUS

IDU = TYPE OF PHONE ( use to ping a phone)

LUDN = LIST UNUSED DN EX: LD 11-PRT-LUDN-CUST =0

LUVU = LIST UNUSED TN TYPE 2000=DIGITAL 500=ANALOG

Printing a Phone

LD 11

REQ:PRT

TYPE:DNB

CUST: 0

DN:
