Equipment and Operations Reference

This guide describes essentially three system elements: lines and trunks,
hardware, and applications. Its presentation is straightforward and the
organizational aids described earlier in "Common Elements" are all you need to
find the information you require.
NOTE:
The Equipment and Operations Reference does not include information about
hardware that was introduced after Release 3.0 of the system. Consult
Chapter 3 of this guide, "System Components," for general descriptions. For
more detailed information about newer hardware components, contact your
AT&T representative. For general information about applications, disregard the
Equipment and Operations Reference and consult the Feature Reference
instead. For newer information about data communications, consult the
Data/Video Reference.
