To prepare for modifying the system:

1.Collect the package of completed planning forms. Although you may need to revise only one or two forms, you should have all completed forms available for reference.

2.Review Chapter 1, “Before You Begin,” for details on preparation for planning activities.

3.Before revising the forms, analyze and document the changes planned. For example:

■If adding extensions to the system, revise the floor plan to show the location of the new telephones and the kind of equipment to be used.

■If activating a feature such as System Speed Dial, survey employees to identify the numbers that should be programmed into the speed dial file.

4.Review security information in Appendix A, “Customer Support Information,” for details on how to minimize the risk of toll fraud.
