Preparation
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. If you need clean copies of the forms, see
Appendix B of the Equipment and Operations 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.
