Conventions used in this book

Become familiar with the following terms and conventions. They help you use this book with your Avaya MultiVantage™ Software.

■Commands are printed in bold face as follows: command.

We show complete commands in this book, but you can usually type an abbreviated version of the command. For example, list configuration station can be typed as list config sta.

■Screen displays and names of fields are printed in constant width as follows: screen display.

A screen is any form displayed on your computer or terminal monitor.

■Variables are printed in italics as follows: variable.

■Keys and buttons are printed as follows: KEY.

■To move to a certain field, you can use the TAB key, arrows, or the ENTER key (the ENTER key may appear as the RETURN key on your keyboard).

■If you use terminal emulation software, you need to determine what keys

correspond to ENTER, RETURN, CANCEL, HELP, NEXT PAGE, etc.

■In this book we use the terms “telephone” and “voice terminal” to refer to phones.

■We show commands and screens from the newest release of MultiVantage Software and refer to the most current books. Please substitute the appropriate commands for your system and refer to the manuals you have available.

■If you need help constructing a command or completing a field entry, remember to use HELP.

—When you press HELP at any point on the command line, a list of available commands appears.

—When you press HELP with your cursor in a field on a screen, a list of valid entries for that field appears.

■The status line or message line can be found near the bottom of your monitor display. This is where the system displays messages for you. Check the message line to see how the system responds to your input. Write down the message if you need to call our helpline.

■When a procedure requires you to press ENTER to save your changes, the screen you were working on clears and the cursor returns to the command prompt.

The message line shows “command successfully completed” to indicate that the system accepted your changes.
