Set the Time and Date on a Partner Phone System

Changing the date and time on an Avaya/Lucent Partner ACS telephone system can be confusing. The menus aren't very descriptive, and it's easy to get lost. Luckily, changing the date and time only takes a few button presses, and you can have your phone system programmed in just a few moments once you know the right combinations.

Steps

Accessing the Menu

  1. Select extension x10 or x11. The correct extension will display the time and date. Older models require you to use extension x10.
  2. Press the "Feature" button. The date will disappear on the display.
  3. Press .00. "Program Extension" will appear on the display.
  4. Press the left Intercom button twice. "System Program" will appear on the display.

Setting the Date

  1. Press .#101 on the "System Program" screen. This will allow you to set the date.
  2. Enter the date in MMDDYY format. Include leading zeros for the month and day if necessary. For example, to set the date as July 22, 2015, you would press 072215.
  3. Exit the Date menu. You can press the left Intercom button to return to "System Program," or press "Feature" then 00 to completely exit.[1]

Setting the Time

  1. Press .#103 on the "System Program" screen. This will allow you to set the time for the phone.
  2. Enter the time in 24-hour (Military) format. For example, to set the time to 9:45 AM, press 0945. To set the time to 5:53 PM, press 1753.
  3. Exit the Time menu. You can press the left Intercom button to return to "System Program," or press "Feature" then 00 to completely exit the "System Program" menu. This will save your changes. [2]

Setting the Day of the Week

  1. Press .#102 on the "System Program" screen. This will allow you to set the day of the week. You only need to do this for older Avaya Partner phones (Release 2.0 and earlier), as newer phones automatically determine the correct day of the week based on the date.[3]
  2. Press the button for the corresponding day. Each day has a corresponding number that you can press to choose that day:
    • 1 - Sunday
    • 2 - Monday
    • 3 - Tuesday
    • 4 - Wednesday
    • 5 - Thursday
    • 6 - Friday
    • 7 - Saturday
  3. Exit the Day of the Week menu. Press "Feature" then 00 to completely exit "System Program" and save your changes.

Warnings

  • Make sure to exit programming mode when finished or you will not be able to use your phone.
