Hi all, hope that your having a good day.

Basically I am brand new to meridian. I use a 3820 handset.

Can anyone give me a idiot's guide on how to connect to the box and what I can do on the handset etc...
I really am starting from scratch.

Thanks.

David.

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

LD 20

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: i.e. 6666
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: 2000,2003,2006,2008,2009,2016,2018,2112,2216,2317,or 2616

3xxx -For Taurus sets (Release 24 Later) 3901,3902,3903,3904, or 3905

TN: This is where you put the TN info you printed above. example:"12 00 05 00"
Then "enter through"

Moving a Telephone
To move a Telephones between exsiting location:
LD 10 for Analog
LD 11 for Digital
LD 20 (for Rls 19 and above)
REQ: MOV
TYPE: (Phone Type)
TN: (Terminal Number)
TOTN: (To new TN Number)
Then Enter Through...
Here is an Example:
Thelma X5000 TN 12 0 0 0 TYPE: 2008
Louise X5001 TN 12 0 0 1 TYPE: 2616
Find and empty Digital Tn that is not programmed
(i.e.12 0 0 10)
Then
In LD 20 do a:
REQ: MOV
TYPE: 2616
TN: 12 0 0 1
TOTN: 12 0 0 10
then Enter through.. Now Louise is in limbo right now..then
do a REQ: MOV
TYPE: 2008
TN: 12 0 0 0
TOTN: 12 0 0 1
Then Enter Through... now Thelma is moved to where Louise
was... Then do
REQ: MOV
TYPE: 2616
TN: 12 0 0 10
TOTN: 12 0 0 0
Then Enter Through..
You now Successfully Swapped Thelma and Louise's places
without having to change any wiring. Now just swap
their Physical telephones places.

MIC MAK Key xx MIC To check message light on a phone
Key xx MCK

Deleting a telephone
In LD 11 Do a:
REQ: OUT
TYPE: (Type of phone you are outing)
TN: (The TN of the phone you are outing)
Then Return Through.
