Special Tools

In addition to the information described in "Common Elements," earlier in this
chapter and the information in the appendixes, the first pages of the Feature
Reference include several tools to help you find the information you need:
"Index of Feature Names" shows where you can find information about
features and other system components that may have been renamed or
reorganized in this release of the communications system and related
products. It also lists some hardware components that appear in the
Equipment and Operations Reference . This section is helpful both to
people who have used early releases of the system, as well as to those
who are accustomed to other communications systems.
The "Index of Features by Activity" lists features according to tasks
typically performed with the system. It describes the task and then tells
you which Feature Reference entry explains it fully.

Using This Guide

Since the entries in the guide are in alphabetical order, you simply look up a
feature by name. If you're not sure of the feature name, you can use the "Index
to Feature Names" or "Index to Features by Activity" at the front of the guide
and/or use the general index at the back of the guide.

System Programming

This reference guide provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for
programming all aspects of the system. Some of these programming
procedures you may use frequently, for example, the labeling functions to
change the names, phone numbers, and extension numbers that display
features use. Some you may use only occasionally, depending on how your
system is set up. Others are very technical and never require your attention.
Since System Programming does not provide the full descriptions of features
that the Feature Reference does, you may need to refer to both guides when
you are programming a complex feature for the first time.
