AT&T merlin legend manual Making Changes to Your System Later

There are some features that you may want to assign to certain voice terminals yourself because they influence call-handling efficiency throughout your entire business. Assigning these features does not involve administrative procedures, but rather, simple programming procedures at individual voice terminals. These pro- cedures are described in “Programming Voice Terminals for Office Priorities,” page

62.Finally, if you want to help people program their voice terminals to meet their in- dividual needs, follow the procedures outlined in “Programming Voice Terminals for Personal Priorities,” page 72. Later, if your needs change, you can always alter any system administration or programming that has been done.

The chart which follows shows the five types of procedures described in this manual. If you are about to perform system administration for the first time, be sure to read “Preparing to Administer Your System,” page 13, before you attempt any procedures.

MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR SYSTEM LATER

Changes to system features that are administered from the administrator/attendant console or programmed at individual voice terminals are easiest to implement. To make these changes after your system has been set up, go to the section of this manual that gives the procedure for assigning the feature or option you want, and carry out just that procedure.

Basic changes to the way your system operates—that is, changes to the switch set- tings on the control unit—may erase important system administration that is now in place. Before you change any switch settings, review the information in “Changing Your System Later,” page 24.
