.
During system administration the buttons on the administrator/attendant console per-
form completely different functions than they do when the console is being used to
handle calls. Therefore, you need a different set of button labels whenever you use
the console for system administration. There are two sets of administration mode
button labels in the back of this manual: one set for a small administrator/attendant
console (systems with switch H on the control unit set to 1-8 Lines) and another set
for a large administrator/attendant console (systems with switch H set to >8 Lines).
Fill in the appropriate set for your system, and keep the labels and completed forms
to use whenever you administer your system.

CHOOSING A TIME TO ADMINISTER YOUR SYSTEM

Before you begin administration procedures, choose a time when you do not expect
many people to be using their voice terminals. When you perform some administra-
tion procedures, the system blocks all calls on the lines or voice terminals with which
you are working. Blocked voice terminals generate soft, periodic beeps to alert peo-
ple that they cannot be used. If you accidentally try to administer a voice terminal
that has an active call, you do not cut off the caller. Rather, you are unable to con-
tinue administering that voice terminal until it is idle.
