Console and DSS Lights 1

The red and green lights (LEDs) next to each of the 20 line buttons show the
status of the line/trunk options. LEDs on the DSS show the status of features
programmed on extensions. See Appendix C, “LED Displays,” for more
information.

Console Lights 1

The green and red LEDs next to each button on the console display the status of
the line/trunk option that is being programmed. For example when you select
Pools from the Lines Trunks menu, the red LED is off if the selected line is not in a
pool and on if the line is in a pool. Appendix C, “LED Displays,” provides a table
that shows the default LED status for line/trunk options.

DSS Lights 1

The lights on the DSS (if one is attached to the console) show the status of
features being programmed on the extensions. When you select a feature from a
menu, the red LED next to the DSS button is on, off, or flashing, depending on
whether the feature is programmed on the corresponding extension. For example,
when you select from the Restrictions menu, the red LED next to
the DSS button lights for each toll-restricted extension. Appendix C “LED
Displays,” provides a table that shows the default DSS status of LEDs for system
features.
Programming Procedures 1
The programming procedures provide step-by-step instructions for programming
the communications system. This section details how to make the best use of th e
programming procedures.

Procedure Organization 1

The programming procedures in Chapter 3, “Common Administrative
Procedures,” and Chapter 4, “Programming Procedures,” are organized into
logical groups. The programming procedures associated with a specific aspect of
the system are grouped together under one heading. For example, to assign
network services for PRI, you would go to the section titled “PRI” and then locate
the network services procedure. For quick reference, see “System Programming
Hierarchy” on page 1–24 for a list of procedures based on the menu hierarchy in
Appendix B. It traces the menu path for a specific function.
