Contents and Organization

System Programming is organized into the following chapters:
Programming Basics (Chapter 1). Provides an introduction to
programming and idle states, and general information about using the
guide.
Programming with SPM (Chapter 2). Provides information about using
SPM (PC-based software) that enables you to program the system from a
PC instead of from a system programming console.
Common Administrative Procedures (Chapter 3). Contains procedures
that system managers use often (as summarized in Chapter 6 of this
System Manager's Guide ), including a programming summary, whether
an idle state is required during programming, the system planning forms
required, and the actual step-by-step procedures. This chapter also
includes information about backing up system programming using a
memory card.
NOTE:
After you are familiar with the step-by-step procedures, you can use the
programming summaries to quickly refresh your memory.
Programming Procedures (Chapter 4). Provides each system
programming procedure not covered in Chapter 3. The procedures
appear in the same order as they do in the menus themselves. Use this in
conjunction with the Appendix B flowchart or the annotated menus in the
first chapter.

Centralized Telephone Programming (Chapter 5). Contains the
procedures for centralized telephone programming.
