Basic Administration

Once your system planning and paperwork are complete, you can perform basic ad- ministration procedures. The chart below lists the procedures described in this sec- tion. Remember that if you are administering a new system that has just been in- stalled, some of these basic procedures maybe required to set the proper operating conditions for your particular environment, and you must perform them first before you goon to do any other system administration. Carry out the procedures in the order listed in the chart, but keep in mind that you may not need to perform all of them to customize your system to your particular environment. Read each procedure first to see if it applies to you.

IMPORTANT: Administer your system at a time when you do not expect many peo- ple to be using their voice terminals.
