Two categories of guides are available for the system:
User Guides and Operator Guides. Each of these guides describes the
use and features of a specific telephone or operator console.
System Reference Guides. These guides provide detailed information
about system features and capabilities:
Feature Reference
contains information about features and
applications.
System Programming
includes detailed, step-by-step procedures to
program the system.
NOTE:
An additional guide,
System Planning
, contains information about
completing the planning forms and is used mainly by Lucent Technologies
personnel.
Equipment and Operations Reference
contains information
about system equipment; it has not been updated since Release 3.0.
The
Feature Reference
and
System Programming
are essential when you
perform the common system management tasks described in Chapter 6,
‘‘Managing the System’’, or when you otherwise modify the system as your
company needs change and expand.
Both of these guides are described in Chapter 7, ‘‘
Learning More’’, which helps
you quickly find what you need in each guide.
Your Role as System Manager 1
As system manager, you coordinate the system to ensure the best possible
benefit and performance for your company. Primarily, this involves acting as a
contact for people using the system and for Lucent Technologies personnel, as
well as making changes to the system as the needs of your company change or
expand.
When the system is installed, experienced Lucent Technologies personnel
complete all of the programming required to get the system up and running. But if
and when you need to make changes to the system, you don’t have to be an
engineer, a programmer, or a telecommunications specialist. It is more important
that you understand the needs of your company and the system’s users.
If you like, you can use a personal computer (PC) to do the programming.
Otherwise, you can use a system telephone, with a display, for most programming
tasks. In both cases, menus guide you through the process. You don’t need to
remember any special commands or codes.
