AT&T feature module 2 system manual Menu-Driven Administration Procedures

Menu-Driven Administration Procedures

The following table shows procedures for menu-driven administration. This display-based method is used only with the MERLIN 11 System display console. The console makes administering your system easy because each button below the display aligns with its corresponding entry on the display.

You may also want to refer to Figure 3-1,the menu map, which shows the display for each of the administration features as well as their positions in the menu-driven administration hierarchy. By referring to the menu map, you will always know where you are in the system and be able to keep administration time to a minimum.

Each administering procedure is designed to be completed and, if necessary, repeated with a minimum of effort. For example, once you have entered administration mode, the menu displays the first four major features of the system (System, FlexNm, Lines, Stations) and leaves a fifth spot open (More) for accessing the other features. Pressing the button under the position where More is displayed will reveal four more major features of the system, and so on until the first four are displayed again. In the tables, procedures for accessing subsequent features are clearly described.

When you are in a menu and have administered a feature, you don’t have to go back to the system menu to access other features. In most cases, each level of administration provides for a way to move around within that level by pressing the button under the position where More is displayed. For example, if you have just administered PageZn, you can move to administering allowed lists by pressing More.
