I have purchased a used IPK (not IPKII) phone system that was previously used with only 2 incoming POTS lines and a fax, but I have 3 POTS lines and a fax.

Whoever set it up previously programed the call arrival keys on the DTH-8D IPK Dterm 80 like this:
buttons 1 and 2 show incoming calls. And can be used to access outside lines to make clls. button 3 is used to page "all". and button 4-8 are extension buttons.
We have no need for a paging function. And
I need to change that button (3) to show calls incoming on line 3. Currently, when line 3 rings the phones light up indicating that a call is coming in on the 3rd line. But we can not pick it up. Also, we cannot choose that line to make outgoing calls. (Because that button is set to "Page")

If this change is a system programming change and requires a tech visit, I would like to know if there is a key sequence that would allow me to pick up that line or use it to make outgoing calls until I get a tech in here?

Thanks
Mike

Memory Block 4-12 is used to assign keys. Your display when in programming mode will look something like: 01:12:LK01=CO1 (where 01 is the station port, 12 is the memory block program, LK01 represents Line Key 1, and it is assigned as CO Trunk 1). For each station port (01 - xx) change LK01 to read LK03 (button 3 being assigned), press button 2 on the phone to select CO Trunk assignment, then press digit 3.... then [Transfer] to write to memory.

If You have Never Programmed a System Before Mike, You Should Hire a Tech to Do this for You.

Rickman,
I have not programmed an NEC before. But I have done many other types of systems.
With the information that eriway put in their post AND using the programming manual, I was able to get all the extensions programmed properly.

I appreciate all the information and help that was offered.

Thank you.

Good Job Mike :thumb:
