Starplus DHS PC Programming 2

[bjsmithco]

Any idea how to connect the Starplus DHS Programming utility to the DHS system via a modem? Do I just plug into an analog port or what?

I used to be able to connect via direct cable connection to the RS232 port, but for some reason I no longer can. I've tried different COM ports, but I just can seem to make a direct connection. I thought maybe another route by modem might work. Any ideas?

Gotta love Vodavi documentation!

bjsmithco:

When you get into programming the 1st option is STATION programming, next is CO LINE. hit show enter each CO line (one at a time) and hit next until you get to CO Line Group See what group each line is in, Default is 1. If no CO line Group is assigned, make them all 1.

Go to Call Handling and hit next until you reach PBX Code and make sure this it is "9". I may have been changed and that is why you can't use dial 9 to access.

That should do it.

Thanks, tabra! I checked the settings and they were all as they were supposed to be. I went ahead and changed the setting in Call Handling from '9' to '0', exited the system, and then reentered and changed the '0' back to a '9'. Now everything works great. (And I'm beginning to agree with you on programming from a phone.)
