0	Managing the System	6

This chapter helps you complete the most common system management tasks. It includes some background on the types of programming and how to access them, and then provides task descriptions and procedures.

!CAUTION:

Do not attempt to change either the system numbering plan or the system operating mode. Changing either of these could cause serious disruption of the system and would require significant time and effort to remedy. Also, do not use either the Maintenance or Restart options from the system programming menus except when instructed to do so by a Lucent Technologies representative or when performing the CTI link procedures

described in ‘Busying‘ -Out and Restoring the MLX Module’’ on page 6-90.

Before you perform the system management tasks, review the general

instructions in the next sections, ‘Using‘ the Task Descriptions’’ and ‘‘Using the Programming Procedures’’ on page 6-3.

To help troubleshoot system problems, label phones with extension numbers rather than line numbers.
