In the figure, a is a remote function setting start command frame signal, b is a display data frame signal, and C is a display data frame signal.
is an ACK command frame signal, d is a key data frame signal, e is a page break command frame signal, and f is an end command frame signal. First, when the setting device W60 transmits a remote function setting start command frame signal a to the device to be set 70 (
(first transmission means), the configured device 70 converts the function setting data of the first item into a display data frame b and transmits it to the setting device 60 (second transmission means). As a result, this is received by the setting device 60 and displayed on the display 36 of the setting slave unit 4.
This display data is displayed. And setting device 6
When the ACK command signal C is returned from 0, it is received by the device 70 to be set, and the function setting data of this first item is displayed on the display 36 of the device 4 to be set. In this way, the same function setting data is displayed on the displays 36 of both Senki 4. Thereafter, a change instruction is issued by the setting handset 4, and as a result, the key data frame signal d is transmitted to the set device 7o (third transmission means). is displayed on the display 36 of the slave device 4 to be set, and also returns an ACK command frame signal C. As a result, the change instruction information according to the above change instruction is displayed on the display 36 of the slave device 4 to be set. When the change of the function setting data based on the change instruction is completed, the setting device IE60 transmits a page break command frame signal e instructing the next item to the device to be set W70.
(first transmission means). As a result, the set device 70 temporarily registers the function setting data of the first item, converts the function setting data of the next item, and sends it back as a display data frame signal b (second transmission means). In this way, the function setting data of all items are changed, and the end command frame signal f is transmitted from the setting device 60 to the set device 70, and the temporary registration of remote function settings is completed.

Next, the detailed operation of remote function setting of the button telephone device configured as described above will be explained based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

First, the function setting side processing in FIG. 4, that is, the setting device W60
The processing of the CPU 14 will be explained. When a setting key in the keyboard 37 of the handset 4 is pressed by the setting handset 4 during an outside line call, the input of this setting key is determined in step 100. When this is "N", wait until the input of this setting key is detected, and when it is ry4, that is, when the setting key is input (means for driving the first transmission means), remote function setting starts in step 101. A remote function setting start command frame signal a in which a command is set in the command type section 87 and a code indicating the command is set in the frame type section 80 is transmitted to the set device 70.Next, in step 102, a response monitoring timer is started. Then, in step 103, it is determined whether the display data from the set device 70 by the remote function setting start command, that is, the display data frame signal b, which will be explained in detail later, has been received.If the result in step 103 is "N", then , Next, in step 107, a timeout of the timer started above is detected, and if this is "N", the process returns to step 103, and if it is "Y", that is, if it is timed out, the process returns to step 100 and the setting is performed again. Determine the input of the setting key pressed by the handset 4. "Y" in step 103;
That is, if the display data is received, the response monitoring timer is stopped in step 104, the display change processing of the received display data is performed in step 105 and displayed on the setting slave unit 4, and the ACK command is sent to the command type section in step 106. At 87, an ACK command frame signal C in which a code indicating the command is set in the frame type section 80 is transmitted to the set device 70. Next, in order to change the received function setting data or select the next program item, press the keyboard 3 of the setting machine 4.
When a function setting operation key such as a setting key or dial key provided in 7 is pressed, this input is determined in step 110, and if it is "N", wait until it is input, and select "Y". If so, it is determined in step 111 whether the input key is a setting key. If this is "N", it means that another key is manually input, and the command corresponding to the key input in step 112 (in this case, a page break command to specify a function setting item) or dial data (function setting data change instruction information) is executed. The page break command frame signal e or key data frame signal d is set in the command type section 87 or dial data section 88, respectively, and the page break command frame signal e or key data frame signal d is transmitted to the set device 70, and the response monitoring timer is started in step 113. Setting this command frame is done in the same way as above, but the key data frame setting involves setting the code indicating the key data in the frame type field 80 and the input dial data in the dial data field 88. Yes, and step 1
At step 14, it is determined whether an ACK command frame signal C (in this case, an ACK command for sending dial data) or a display data frame signal b (display data for sending a page break command) is received from the set device 70, and this is determined as "
If the answer is "N", the timeout of the response monitoring timer set above is detected in step 117, and if the answer is "N", the process returns to step 114; if the answer is "Y", that is, if it is timeout, the process returns to step 110 and the setting is performed again. Determine operation key input. When "Y" in step 114, that is, when 80K command frame signal C or display data frame signal b is received, step 11. In step 5, the response monitoring timer is stopped, and in step 116, the display data is changed to be displayed on the display 36, and in step 11.
Return to 0. If "Y" is determined in step 120, that is, if the ACK command frame signal C is received, the response monitoring timer is stopped in step 121 and the process ends. Next, when "N" is determined in step 111, that is, when the setting key is input, an end command frame signal f for terminating this remote function setting is set in the command type field 87 in step 118, and this command frame is It is transmitted to the set device 70, and a response monitoring timer is started in step 119. Then, in step 120, the configured device 7
It is determined whether the ACK command frame signal C from 0 is received, and if this is "N", the timeout of the response monitoring timer set above is detected in step 122, and this is "N".
'', the process returns to step 120, and if ``Y'', that is, the timeout has occurred, the process returns to 110 again to determine whether the setting operation key has been input. Next, the setting target side processing in FIG. 5, that is, the setting target device 70
The processing of the CPU 14 will be explained. First, step 14
0, it is determined whether the remote function setting start command frame signal a from the setting device 60 has been received. And this is “N
”, wait until the reception is received, and when “Y”, that is, when the remote function setting start command frame signal a is received, the handset that receives this command is the specific handset 4 with extension number ll in step 150. Determine whether it exists or not. If this is "N", the process ends; if "Y", that is, if it is a specific handset 4, step 151
The data of the first function setting item stored in the function setting area is read out and a display data frame signal b, which is converted into display data, is transmitted to the setting device 60. That is, a code indicating the display data is stored in the frame type section 80, the first function setting item is placed in the function setting item section 8l, the name of this function setting item is placed in the character data section 82, and this item is placed in the start/end code section 83. 10 of the corresponding function setting data
A display data frame is transmitted in which the start and end digits of the digit are set, the length of the display data is set in the data length section 84, and the display data is set in the data section 85. Note that a maximum of 99 function setting items can be set in the function setting item section 81, and a maximum of 40 function setting data can be set in the data section 85, corresponding to one function setting item.
For example, one item can contain call restriction data for 40 key telephones. This makes it possible to set functions for key telephone devices ranging from small to large capacities. Next, in step 152, a response monitoring timer is activated, and in step 153, it is determined whether the ACK command frame signal C from the setting device 60 has been received. If this is "N", the timeout of the response monitoring timer set above is detected in step 156, and if this is "N", the process returns to step 153, and if it is "Y", that is, if it has timed out, the process returns to step 140. Return to determine whether remote function setting start command frame signal a has been received. When "Y" is determined in step 153, that is, when the ACK command frame signal C is received, the response monitoring timer is stopped in step 154, and then in step 155, display change processing of the display data sent to the setting device W60 is performed. Machine 4 display 3
Display it on 6. Next, in step 160, the setting device W6
Determines whether command or dial data is received from 0. If it is r N J in step 160, wait until it is received, and if it is "Y", that is, if it is received, then in step 161, the end command is received, that is, it is determined whether or not the received signal is the end command frame signal f. I do. When this is "N", it is determined in step 162 whether the received signal is a page break command frame signal e instructing the next function setting item, and when this is "N", Since the received signal is dial data for instructing change of function setting data, that is, key data frame signal d, in step 165, data reception processing, that is, display change processing and ACK command frame signal for setting device W60 is performed. C is returned and the process returns to step 160. When "Y" is determined in step 162, that is, the received signal is the page break command frame signal e.
If so, in step 163, the function setting data of the item corresponding to this page break command is read from the function setting area, converted as display data, and this display data is sent to the setting device 60 as a display data frame signal b. , the function setting data of the previous item is temporarily registered, and the response monitoring timer is started in step 164. Subsequently, in step 166, it is determined whether the ACK command frame signal C from the setting device W60 has been received. If this is "rN", the timeout of the response monitoring timer set above is detected in step 169, and if this is "N", step 166 is detected.
If the answer is "Y", that is, if the timeout has occurred, the process returns to step 160 and determines whether a command or dial data has been received. If "Y" in step 166, that is, if the ACK command frame signal C is received, the response monitoring timer is stopped in step 1-67, and then in step l
At step 68, the display data is changed to be displayed on the display 36, and the process returns to step 160. In step 161, "
Y", that is, when the end command frame signal f is received, an ACK command frame signal C is sent to the setting device 60 in step 170, and the function setting data of all the items set in the above setting process is temporarily registered in step 171. At the same time as provisional registration in the area, in step 172, an official registration request process is performed to the setting device 60 to store the provisional registration data in the official registration area.

In this way, when a function setting item is specified, the function setting data for the specified item is transmitted, and the transmitted function setting data is received and a change instruction is given for this data. , and remote function settings are performed while displaying the above function setting items, function setting data, and information for instructing changes on the display of the button telephone, making it easy for the setter to edit a large amount of function setting data.
Not only can settings be made accurately, but also troubles caused by unauthorized settings can be prevented. Furthermore, by simplifying and configuring the transmission data format between the setting device 60 and the configured device 70 into three types of data formats: a variable length display data frame, a fixed length command frame, and a key data frame, The program that executes function setting processing is simplified, and remote function settings can be freely performed for key telephone devices ranging from small to large capacity using the same data format. [Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above explanation, in the button telephone device according to the present invention, when a function setting item is instructed by the first transmission means, the second transmission means Transmit function setting data? , the third transmission means is configured to transmit change instruction information regarding the function setting data, and transmits the remote function while displaying the above function setting items, function setting data, and change instruction information on the display of the button telephone. Since the settings are made, the person making the settings can easily and accurately set a large amount of function setting data, and can also prevent problems caused by unauthorized settings.
