This guide provides information and procedures for carrying out typical System Administrator

System Administrator
System Administrators typically perform the following tasks:
• Place the local system or other systems in the network in night or day mode
• Set the date and time of the local system
• Set the network date and time and resynchronize clocks in the network
• Make database changes, as described in “Programming the Database Using a System
Administrator Phone’’ on page 26.
• Program System Speed Dial numbers on the local system
• Receive and clear displayed system and network alarms
• Use diagnostic mode features to:
— Freeze and unfreeze database history on the local system or other systems in the
network.
— Print error logs.
— Seize specific devices for troubleshooting purposes.
— Report audio problems to your installer/technician.
Any Inter-Tel phone can be designated as a System Administrator phone through Database
Programming. However, to facilitate programming and to manage alarm messages, Inter-Tel
recommends using a Model 8660 Six-Line Display IP phone or a Model 8560, Executive, or
Professional Six-Line Display digital phone for this purpose. System Administrator features
are described in detail beginning on page 23.
