Two categories of guides are available for the system:

■User Guides and Operator Guides. Each of these guides describes the use and features of a specific telephone or operator console.

■System Reference Guides. These guides provide detailed information about system features and capabilities:

—Feature Reference contains information about features and applications.

—System Programming includes detailed, step-by-step procedures to program the system.

NOTE:

An additional guide, System Planning, contains information about completing the planning forms and is used mainly by Lucent Technologies personnel. Equipment and Operations Reference contains information about system equipment; it has not been updated since Release 3.0.

The Feature Reference and System Programming are essential when you perform the common system management tasks described in Chapter 6, ‘‘Managing the System’’, or when you otherwise modify the system as your company needs change and expand.

Both of these guides are described in Chapter 7, ‘Learning‘ More’’, which helps you quickly find what you need in each guide.

Your Role as System Manager 1

As system manager, you coordinate the system to ensure the best possible benefit and performance for your company. Primarily, this involves acting as a contact for people using the system and for Lucent Technologies personnel, as well as making changes to the system as the needs of your company change or expand.

When the system is installed, experienced Lucent Technologies personnel complete all of the programming required to get the system up and running. But if and when you need to make changes to the system, you don’t have to be an engineer, a programmer, or a telecommunications specialist. It is more important that you understand the needs of your company and the system’s users.

If you like, you can use a personal computer (PC) to do the programming. Otherwise, you can use a system telephone, with a display, for most programming tasks. In both cases, menus guide you through the process. You don’t need to remember any special commands or codes.
